Welcome to Health Promoting Schools 2009

 KIA ORA BULA NAMASTE

At Avondale Primary School we are very proud to be a Health Promoting School. 

Our aim for 2009 is:

To encourage our students to live a healthy lifestyle through the choices they make.  This includes the food they eat daily, the exercise they do, the attitude and value that they carry with them. 

We have a great team of student role models who are trying hard to set a great example in our school and in our community.  Our team is made up of 8 year 5 senior students. These great students wll be working along with Miss Briggs to come up with great ideas.

This year we are wanting to give our students a voice and let them tell the HPS team what they would and what would help to make Avondale Primary School a better Health Promoting School. With giving the students a voice it will them maintain the health eating daily and to keep up exercise by getting involved in sports that is happening in the school.

Avondale Primary has just become a sunsmart accredited school.  This means that we are considered to be a sun safe school by the cancer society. That is why we wear our red hats in term 1 and 4 our hottest terms and we are trying to get sunscreen for each class at Avondale Primary School.
