Premier's+Sporting+Challenge

__Premiers Sporting Challenge__ During Term 3, our elective classes will participate in the 10 week Premier’s Sporting Challenge. In 2010, Year 7 students will participate. We will start the Challenge Week 1 of Term 3! The Premier’s Sporting Challenge includes a range of initiatives with one common purpose- to have more students, more active, more often! The Challenge aims to engage young people in sport and physical activity and encourages them to lead healthy, active lifestyles.

The PSC encourages all students in Year 7-12 to increase the amount of physical activity they do each week. Opportunities for students to be physically active include: ◊ Incidental activity ◊ Playground games ◊ Organised school sport ◊ Outdoor recreation programs ◊ Dance associated with the Performing Arts ◊ Community sport and recreation activities Students: ◊ Participate as a team (with a team captain) for a minimum of 10 weeks ◊ Work together to achieve Award goals for the team ◊ Regularly complete log books As well as taking a part in this year’s challenge with the selected elective classes, GRC Peakhurst Campus students, across all years, are encouraged to adopt the “5 steps to a healthy lifestyle” guidelines for life. These 5 steps are: 1. Get active for an hour or more a day! 2. Choose water to drink! 3. Eat more fruit and vegetables! 4. Turn off the TV or computer and get active! 5. Eat fewer snacks and select healthier alternatives!
