Health and Physical Education Week

This week marks Health and Physical Education Week.  The aim of the SJV Physical Education program is to expose the students to as many different ways to be physically active by introducing them to differents sports, fitness and movement activities so they can find a love for movement, however this may look moving into adulthood.

Our program also discusses, the importance of healthy eating and how this contributes to a healthy lifestyle.  Our year 4's are currently producing posters that aim to highlight the importance of eating well and will be displayed during National Nutrition Week in mid October.

The aim of HPE Week is to celebrate and highlight the importance and value of leading a healthy and active lifestyle, through the promotion of health and physical education.  Not only at school but outside of school also.  We will do some programs at school to highlight the importance of moving our bodies but below are some great resources provided by ACHPER Victoria, that may interest you also.
