Healthy Food Supports Student LearningHealthy lunches and snacks are important for children as they support their ability to concentrate and learn. Healthy eating habits are not always easy to develop but by encouraging children to be involved in their own lunch preparation, and praising them when they choose between a range of healthy food alternatives parents can set valuable habits that will last a lifetime.
Healthy lunches and snacks are important for children as they support their ability to concentrate and learn. Healthy eating habits are not always easy to develop but by encouraging children to be involved in their own lunch preparation, and praising them when they choose between a range of healthy food alternatives parents can set valuable habits that will last a lifetime.
There are special times for children to eat during the school day and to discourage children skipping meals, in favour of playing with friends, we supervise eating. During these times, while your child sits and quietly eats, we discuss good eating habits and the importance of avoiding unhealthy foods. So how healthy is your child’s lunchbox?
More fruit and vegetables in Australians’ diets will help protect against heart disease, lower risk of diabetes and help maintain a healthy weight. Important lunch box tips- Best choices Vegetables, fresh fruit, dairy food – cheese or yoghurt, protein food – slice of lean meat, hard-boiled egg or beans, starchy foods – bread, rice or pasta Foods best left out Muesli and chocolate bars, potato crisps and oven baked savoury biscuits, sweet drinks donuts and cakes, lollies, honey and jams, fatty meats such as salami. Governing Council Committee Portfolio Members At the first Governing Council Meeting we welcomed two new members, Stacey Choi and William Brodie-Tyrell and allocated portfolio roles to each parent representative. These people will organise the portfolio meetings and seek members of the school community to support their portfolio’s work. Danielle Sturtzel - Chairperson, Katherine Nairn - Deputy Chair / Community Liaison, Pamela Carrington – Treasurer, Melissa Stephenson – Secretary, Michelle Norton – Grounds, Mary-Anne Richards – FACE, Stacey Choi – Canteen, William Brodie-Tyrell – Education and Angela Derda – Sports. __________________________________________________________________________

The Importance of Physical Education
Research shows that if children develop competencies in fundamental movement skills, they are more likely to participate in physical activity pursuits in adolescence, thus making learning in childhood particularly critical. Through experiencing a range of educational physical activities, each student learns to evaluate their movement, strengths and build the physical self. Efficiency to choose activities that are safe and satisfying through life.
Regular activity for children increases the probability of an active adult lifestyle. So an active lifestyle during childhood has a direct benefit to student’s health, both now and in later years via a lower disease risk to an inactive person. This is particularly important in these modern times with the increase in usage of screens at school and at home which is leading to a more sedentary lifestyle (which in the longer term leads to health risks eg. Diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular health, muscular skeletal, issues etc.) A sedentary lifestyle can lead to a shorter life.
Phys Ed is informed by research in movement concepts, motor skill learning, strategic awareness in sports and games, biophysical sciences, behavioral sciences, sociological sciences.
Because all physical activity uses locomotor, non – locomotor, manipulative and specialised movement skills, these skills set the foundation for adult activity and form the basis of competent movement.
