School accepts sports challenge

Pretty Beach Public School will be participating in the Premier's Sports Challenge from May 19.

"Children in Years 3 to 6 will be participating in the Premier's Primary School Sport Challenge," said school principal Ms Vicki Redrup.

"The challenge aims to engage young people in sport and physical activity and encourages them to lead health, active lifestyles.

"The Premier's Primary School Sport Challenge involves classes participating in a 15-week sport and physical activity challenge.

"A class may accumulate time spent in a broad range of sports and recreational pursuits during lunchtime, in school sport programs, class time, after school or in weekend physical activity.

"Students are challenged to increase their time engaged in moderate to vigorous physical activity to achieve awards.

"Bronze, silver, gold and diamonds awards will be presented at the end of the challenge.

"Students are encouraged to work towards the recommended national daily activity standard of one hour per day."
