Last week the College PDHPE KLA encouraged staff and students to get involved in National Health and Physical Activity Day. To mark the occasion O'Connor held “Workout Wednesday” all day. We were encouraged to be active on Wednesday and everyday in as many ways as we can! In PAC classes, classes, students chose an active activity to kick start cognitive functioning for the day.
During the course of the day students chose to attend from a rang of activities run by our PDHPE Department including tennis, bench press and rowing competitions, badminton and volleyball.
Child Studies have been doing a unit on Children and Culture and looking at different games that can be played with children.
In Year 9 PE we are studying the unit RUOK this term.

Mr Channon organised a well-being day for Year 12 with guest speakers, counsellors, teachers running sessions. One of the workshops was led by Mr Hawthorne and it included the background information on RUOK Day. The students were then given a piece of yellow fabric and a black fabric marker to create their own artwork. Mrs Channon then stitched each piece together to create a unique and very special banner that hangs proudly in the Benilde Indoor Street. What a lovely legacy:)

Guidelines
For optimal health benefits, children and young people (aged 5–17 years) should achieve the recommended balance of high levels of physical activity, low levels of sedentary behaviour, and sufficient sleep each day. A healthy 24 hours includes:
Activities that are vigorous, as well as those that strengthen muscle and bone should be incorporated at least 3 days per week.
For greater health benefits, replace sedentary time with additional moderate to vigorous physical activity, while preserving sufficient sleep.
