Healthy October at Lake Charm

For the whole month of October, students from Lake Charm Primary School have focused on Healthy Living adopting the theme 'Healthy October'.

The majority of students travel by bus to the small school located in the Kerang Lakes district. This makes it difficult for students to walk or ride to school as part of participating in the VicHealth Walk to School program. But each morning students and teachers have walked or jogged 1.6 kilometres. Fitness levels have increased as the month has progressed and after three weeks they report feeling much healthier.

Students have put together three media clips to promote healthy and active living. It's great to see them taking an active role promoting the importance of healthy lifestyles. Take a look at their clips:

Exercise:

TV usage:

SunSmart:

Students have also developed a Healthy October brochure to encourage all people to eat Healthy Foods, Exercise more, to stay Hydrated by drinking water and to be Sunsmart by remembering to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide! Very important messages as the weather warms up.
