Active Kids Are Fit 4 Life

We know that high levels of inactivity can lead to a greater risk of both physical and mental health problems. Physical activity promotes many aspects of child and adolescent development, including mental wellbeing, social and emotional skills, as well as physical development of motor skills.

Shoalhaven Suicide Prevention and Awareness network support young people attending various sporting activities. This includes: joining the PCYC, using active kids vouchers to become a member of any number of sports groups, joining a fishing club, or bushwalking. These sorts of activities support nutritious food and healthy habits for a lifetime.

The young people pictured are from the Fit 4 Life program at the Shoalhaven PCYC. They enjoyed learning how to wear face masks properly and loved that they could take away a good quality drink bottle as well, to use to stay hydrated.

Thank you, Kogan, Nottage, and Good360 for supplying these wonderful brand-new items. They have supported our young ones in being educated in leading a healthy lifestyle.
