Students of St Peter’s College’s East and West Campuses have been putting their best foot forward since the launch of the Premier’s Active April initiative.
The Cranbourne East and West Campuses are among the top 20 in the state for registered participants in the month-long challenge.
Active April encourages people of all ages and fitness levels to commit to 30 minutes of physical activity a day to improve their health and wellbeing.
St Peter’s College’s East Campus health and physical education teacher Sarah Slykerman said students had embraced the initiative.
“Each day before school, at recess, lunch and after school activities have been run at both the East and West Campus to promote students being physically active together as a community,” she said.
From yoga to egg and spoon race, tennis and basketball, Ms Slykerman said there was an activity to suit all students.
After school activities included gardening, roller-skating and trampolining.
Ms Slykerman said the school was on track to surpass their record of 2000 hours of physical activity set last year.
“With plenty of activities planned for the final count down, we are sure to smash the 2017 total and set a new record and pace for being active during April at St Peter’s College.”
