In celebration of the health and wellbeing of young children across Australia, Flinders Public School will celebrate the National Health and Physical Education (HPE) Day which is Wednesday, 14th September.
The nationwide event is designed to raise awareness of the value of Health and PE in the Australian Curriculum and highlight the important role it plays in the learning and development of children, the benefit to all schools, and the educative value to the wider community. The theme is: Good for Children, Good for Schools, Good for Communities.
Flinders Public School are getting involved by holding a Nude Food Picnic. Nude Food has been promoted throughout our school this year, by both the Gardening Club and the SRC. One of our aims is to reduce the amount of rubbish in our school, to keep our grounds looking beautiful and take are of the environment. The other significant aim, is to draw awareness to the types of packaged, processed foods we are placing into our lunchboxes and encourage healthier choices to be made, fresh foods that can be placed in a container, rather than wrapped in plastic.
We are hoping to expand our initiative next year to make EVERY day, Nude Food Day.
