Aim to increase fruit, water and activity

Students from Ettalong Public School in Years 3 to 6 will be participating in the Central Coast Local Health District campaigns Q4H20 and How RU Travelling this week, March 21-25.

The aim of these campaigns is to increase the intake of water, fruit and to be more active.

Students will each be given a card to record their progress at school, according to relieving principal Ms Lynn Balfour.

Parents could help their children by packing fruit or vegetables and a bottle of water each day to be consumed during Crunch and Sip in the classroom or during breaks, she said.

"The canteen has kindly agreed to support this initiative and will be selling watermelon and frozen orange segments plus other seasonal fruit during the week."

All students who buy fruit or water at the canteen will go into a draw to win a water bottle.

One will be given away each day.
