Students are being asked to get involved in an Active April House Competition which will run throughout this month, including the two weeks of the school holidays and the first two weeks of Term 2. The premise of Active April is to encourage our community to participate in physical activity every day during April. Taking part in the campaign will demonstrate the College’s commitment to provide physical activity programs, as well as promoting the important role of physical activity in achieving a healthy and active community. Adults should engage in 30 minutes of physical activity each day, while children are recommended to engage in 60 minutes.

Please encourage your child to view the video link HERE, created by our Health and PE Prefect Andre Parlas. The instructional video shows students how to create an account on the Get Active webpage and join their House team.

Over the month of April we ask our community to log in and record their physical activity on the Get Active website. In doing so, House points will be earned. There is also some sports equipment up for grabs for the best student participators in each House. Any physical activity completed can be logged (as long as it is over 10 minutes in duration).

Please support your child by encouraging physical activity over the Easter break. Visit the Get Active website HERE for more details. Get Active Victoria is free to join, and gives you access to a resource of tips and tools for being more physically active.
