Dear Parents and Carers,

This week we sent home a brochure from the Department of Health, 'Is your family missing out on the benefits of being active every day?' If you haven't seen it yet, please take a look in your child's school bag.

The guide talks about

* the importance of physical activity

* the benefits of physical activity

* how to reduce and limit sedentary (sit down / lie down) behaviours

* Screen time guidelines

* Sleep guidelines

Please take some time to read and make some more plans with your family to get out and active!

Did you know three places to get information and support as parents are:

1. The Australian Parenting Website

https://raisingchildren.net.au/

2. Services Australia

https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/raising-kids

3. The Department of Social Services

https://www.dss.gov.au/help-and-support-parenting-and-children/parenting-help-and-support

Blessings,

Jo
