Kids - 'Go for your life'
 |
Kids - 'Go for your life' is a state-wide initiative funded by the State Government and managed by Diabetes Australia - Victoria and The Cancer Council Victoria. The program is working to support many sectors to create environments where children can enjoy healthy eating and physical activity every day. The program is available to primary schools, family day care schemes, child care services and kindergartens.
Frankston City Council believes it is important to support programs that bring healthy changes for children and provide a good foundation to become healthy adults. Our children's generation is the most overweight in Australia's history. Recent studies show approximately 25% of Victorian children are either overweight or obese.
Primary schools and Early Childhood Services who are members of the program support the six key messages:
 |
