By Ms Helen Beynon Learning Area Leader Health and Physical Education

During remote learning, students have been encouraged to participate in activities of their choice, with the goal of completing at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day where possible.

Working remotely and being at home for extended periods has been a great opportunity to be creative and innovative, take responsibility with making healthy choices, as well as understand the positive impact physical activity has on overall health and wellbeing.

It’s been wonderful to see students choosing to walk, run, scooter, bike ride, dance, participate in Tabata and HIIT workouts, yoga, boxing, weight training and gym work, as well as play a variety of sports in the backyard or local park including basketball, soccer, footy and tennis. Keep doing what you love and enjoy!

Hoping parents are also following suit or being the influencers leading by example!

Since we’ve been asking students to share photos, we thought it was only fair that we did too. Here’s a snapshot of some of our HPE staff in action! Riding bikes and spending time in nature seems to be a popular choice!
