Perfect fit: health firm funds school gym

A SCHOOL gave the nation a lesson in healthy partnerships yesterday when it opened a gym and fitness centre part-funded by a global healthcare giant.

The brainchild of PE teacher Kate Kilcoyne, who teaches in St Aloysius’ College in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork, the facility boasts state-of-the-art fitness machines and a range of weights.

Students began fundraising for the facility almost three years ago.
