- EMPOWER schools to develop, and strengthen partnerships, with parents, local and national organisations.
- GENERATE a support network for schools where best practise, innovation and successful initiatives are showcased, affirmed and shared.
- GUIDE schools to create their own specific roadmap for sustained physical activity practices.
- COLLABORATE with schools, national organisations and expert groups to ensure that ASF continues to deliver benefits to schools.
Here at Reenascreena NS we place a big emphasis on being active. We promote physical activity at breaks, during class time via movement breaks and P.E as well as encouraging children to be active outside of school.
We love hearing stories from children about being active outside of school especially by playing sports and participating in activities like swimming, dancing and gymnastics. We encourage all children to join a sports club/team as the benefits are life long. A physically active lifestyle is something we hope to encourage and promote through or participation in the Active Schools flag programme.
