‘Embrace’ - Girls Day Out
On Monday 3 July 2017, OAS girls from Years 8 to 10 and their female
teachers attended HCCS Verdun School to view the movie documentary
‘EMBRACE’ – the body image movement, and
meet its star and director Taryn Brumfitt.
The movie follows the life of Body Image
Activist, Taryn as she explores the global issue
of body loathing, inspiring society to change
the way women and men feel about
themselves and think about their bodies.
The film was really funny and engaging and
was very open about how body image effects
self-esteem which can also then have huge
and harmful long-term effects on someone’s
life.
At the end of the movie there was
a question and answer session,
where students were able to
discuss the issues facing them in
today’s society, especially with
social media.
Some questions were sent in via a
private text line to maintain
anonymity.
The girls asked some really poignant questions reflecting their deep
thoughts about the topic.
On return to school students were treated
to a BBQ lunch and a small mixed group
session to discuss in more detail the parts
of the movie that brought about real
thought changing ideals.
It was a very empowering day despite the
freezing weather.
