Health, fitness and nutrition all play an important role in a child's learning, development and overall well being. Children need to begin healthy eating habits at an early age and should partake in some form of physical activity on a daily basis. Health and nutrition should be incorporated into the school curriculum and promoted school wide. Ultimately, health and nutrition awareness will benefit parents and others in the community at large. Below is a link to a South Australian Government Health Promotion in Schools document you may find useful. Also, I have found the Centre for Health Promotion website to be a very useful resource. |
