Our Healthly Kids Program

This term our Primary students have been involved in the "Our Healthy Kids" program which was facilitated by Mr Aaron Willis.  This program was funded by the Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council of NSW.  It focused on Healthy habits, Health eating, Body movement, Thoughts and feelings, Friendships, Healthy hygiene and Healthy relationships.

Last Wednesday the students were involved in a graduation ceremony where they were introduced to "Bush Tucker" from Uncle Gerald and were given certificates and a bag of "goodies" for all the hard work this term.

The school and students would like to thank Mr Willis for running this extremely worthwhile program.
