Hygiene Angels in Cabra school visit

THE young pupils from Christ The King BNS in Cabra got a fun lesson in germ-busting when they were visited recently by the nationwide

‘Hygiene Angels’ primary school tour.

The visit was organised by hygiene experts from Initial Ireland, who are visiting a number of schools across the country to educate schoolchildren about bacteria that live on hands and show how to wash them properly to avoid getting sick.

The germ-busting Hygiene Angels team is made up of Initial’s best and brightest hygiene experts who have made it their mission to spread the word on the importance of hand washing.

The team, led by germ expert Dr Colm Moore, uses UV glow gel and a UV torch to demonstrate how quickly bacteria can spread when you open a door, turn off a light or shake hands with someone.

The germ busting school tour consists of colourful and free interactive workshops in primary schools that teach children about bacteria, the reasons why we need to wash our hands properly and it includes proper hand washing demonstrations.

Children also have an opportunity to take part in bacteria swabbing and germ-detecting activities to see how quickly bacteria can spread.

The Initial team recently featured on RTE’s The Verminators and they brought lots of great fun during their visit to Christ the King.
