Dear Parents/Carers,

This year our school has registered to participate in the NSW Premier’s Sporting Challenge.

The purpose of the Challenge is to encourage students to participate in sport and physical activity to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Over a ten week period (27/04/2022 - 29/06/2022), years 3-6 will be monitoring physical activity levels during class time and sport lessons. Physical activity outside school hours will also count towards the Challenge award. The aim is to work towards an average at least 60 minutes of activity a day for ten weeks.

We would like to invite families to support us in encouraging students healthy use of leisure time and to experience the joy of being active together.

Each student in years 3-6 will be issued with an individual PSC login to record their daily physical activity.

Students completing the Challenge will receive a personalised certificate (Diamond, Gold, Silver or Bronze), signed by the Premier of New South Wales.

Physical activity is valued for its physical, social and emotional benefits. It also helps young people to develop communication skills, confidence and resilience.

We look forward to seeing “more students, more active, more often.”

Yours sincerely,

Miss Borg, Miss Kilpatrick & Miss Veenstra
