Premiers Sporting Challenge @ Flinders PS
‘…more students, more active, more often."
This term students from Kindergarten – Year 6 will begin their participation the ‘Premier's Sporting Challenge.' Teachers will use a wall chart, student cards and/or an online chart to record and monitor students' physical activity levels each day over 10 weeks. It is recommended that students participate in 80 minutes of physical activity each day to maintain good health and a healthy energy intake/output balance.
Teachers will use this program to promote ‘…more students, more active, more often."
We hope parents will support this valuable State Government initiative to promote healthy lifestyles for all children attending NSW schools. Parents should look for opportunities to get your own children ‘…more active, more often.'
One suggestion made by a student in Year 4 was for parents to park the car 10 minutes walk from school and walk your children to school each day!
Students who participate in this program will receive a certificate of achievement in term 4, raise valuable funds for the school's sports programs and enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
