Proposal

 **__BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON ST. MARY’S PRIMARY SCHOOL, RUSHWORTH: __** St. Marys was founded in 1953 by the Josephite sisters. The town of Rushworth has a population of approximately 1000, with the school itself having around 60 students. The school has 3 classes, a Grade. Prep/1, Grade. 3/4 and also a Grade. 4/5/6. The Grade. Prep/1 classroom has 2 full-time teachers working in there, with one teacher in each of the other classrooms. In the school, there is: · Administrative officer. · Reading recovery officer. · Pastoral care chaplin. · 4 integration aides. · 4 classroom teachers. · Principal. While we are at the school, there will be major renovations being undertaken. Each classroom has an interactive whiteboard. They have a school gym, tennis courts, netball and basketball courts, an oval that is very small and uneven and an adventure playground. There is a garden bed with a propagating and hardening off area. Each class has their own small garden bed which links up to their chook shed for manure. They have 5 chooks that should be laying around the time of our visit. **__BACKGROUND ON SOWING THE SEEDS: __** <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt;">Sowing the seeds is a whole school and community approach, focusing on Kindergarten and primary schools. <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt;">Their major themes focus on gardens and healthy nutrition and also physical activity. <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt;">There are four schools involved in the project, one being a p-12 school, which is a Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden school. <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt;">All the towns that are involved are rural and are low socio-economic status.

Research has shown that males and females in the Rushworth area have poorer health than the Victorian average, with heart disease being the most prevalent (Vaughan, 2009). We can start to reduce this risk by promoting physical activity within the school. <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt;">We also found that within the Rushworth community, they have a lower intake of fruit than the Victorian average; therefore we felt that we should promote the intake of healthy eating within the school, so students can have a greater knowledge and understanding of what are appropriate foods.

We will provide a variety of activities for the day to promote health in schools. Our aim is to provide information to student’s so they can continue to promote health within their school environment beyond our activity day. Our activities will include: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msolist: Ignore;">-  Non- traditional sports that student’s may not get to learn within the school. We will provide students with Gymnastics and boxing lessons for the day. These are activities that students would have to travel to if they were to participate, therefore we decided to incorporate these activities into the day so staff and students get an understanding of them and can use in the future. The gymnastics activities are developed from the Australian Sports Commission’s Active After School Care program, in partnership with gymnastics Victoria. One of the main aims of this program is to create gymnastic activities with minimal equipment. Within these lessons, we will keep the students active as the Campaspe Primary Care Partnership Community Wellbeing Profile shows us that the Rochester region has a greater rate of physical inactivity than the rest of Victoria (Vaughan, 2009). <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msolist: Ignore;">- <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt;">Students will get the opportunity to make healthy, rocket fruit kebabs with yoghurt and finger snacks, including: Carrot, Celery, cheese, apple and banana. Following on from this, students will make a healthy lunch. They will get the opportunity to make healthy muffin pizzas. They will get to choose which toppings they want on their pizza. This promotes healthy eating within the school community which is vital for this area as they have a lower rate of fruit intake compared to country Victoria. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msolist: Ignore;">- <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt;">Another activity planned is to provide healthy activity games on the interactive whiteboard for students. This provides information for students through games, so the children will be having fun and learning at the same time. They will also have time to make their own beanbags from balloons and rice. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msolist: Ignore;">- <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt;">The final activity that students will get to experience is a better understanding of their garden bed.

Our group will look to develop our health day activities and suggestions into the schools future curriculum. Although we are there for one day, it is our role to help the school incorporate our activities for a longer period of time. To do this, we would leave some ideas for health promotion with the teachers of the school to help them follow up with what we have done with the students. We will look at where our healthy activities fit into the school curriculum before and after the day. Each activity is also linked with VELS and put into the different levels. As the health day approaches, we will set up a curriculum module to support the healthy activity day for the school (St Mary’s). It is also our role to assist and guide fellow team members in developing detailed activity descriptions. For example with the gymnastics activity, we could help set up a description relevant to the school’s curriculum. We are responsible for incorporating the day and linking our ideas into the school’s curriculum. **__<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt;">POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS: __** Our aim is to follow the schools P.E & Health Policy and any other relevant policies that we find relevant for us.

Also making sure that the schools overall vision and social environment is being supported by the activities of the day which so far include; classroom practice through the use of the interactive whiteboards, student management and support through school rules and running of activities, and family links which is part of the friendly schools and families culture as seen in the schools policy. The activities of the day have also been developed with the idea that they can be extended by the classroom teachers at a later date therefore reinforcing the guidelines of the health promotion in schools framework which states that, “health and education are inseparably linked.” (National Framework for health promoting schools 2000-2003). The school overall was doing a great job in promoting health within the school through being involved in programs such as blue earth and the sowing the seeds program which focuses on physical activity and health promotion. At the school itself the students have access to clean facilities, and safe play areas both inside and outside; open and under shade sails, where they can safely partake in a range of physical activities. The school also has the access to a pastoral care chaplain and 4 integration aides throughout the school that can play a role in helping to promote health and physical activity throughout the school which also involves the community as it is only a fairly small school, which has a strong values base through being a catholic school. Through the schools access to the pastoral care chaplain which helps to ensure the staff and students have access to health and welfare on an emotional level. <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"> The environment and ethos officer also has to ensure that the school has “safe” environments for the running of all the activities, some of which can be taken from the school map and the guidelines we have been given, as well as monitoring these environments on the day of the event, such as where the activities could be run in case of wet weather. In case of wet weather the gymnastics will be held in the stadium/hall along with the cooking and the boxing moved into a classroom. The gardening will also have to be shifted into a different activity such as using the interactive whiteboard for games in the case of wet weather. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">On the activity day the environment and ethos officer will work closely with the events manager to coordinate the running of the day in which they will need to assist with the collection of items for the day, the set up of activities and overall running of the day. For the future the school could possibly have an annual health promotion day or week to help raise awareness of the importance of health and could use these days to focus on any number of health promotion areas that they feel the students and the community may need further education about, possibly also introducing more non-traditional sports into their curriculum as well as this was stated in their request for what they wanted from a health promotion day. The school may also be able to implement healthy lunch box days and “nude food” play lunches where the students need to have play lunch that does not have a wrapper or disposable packaging such as cut up fruit or a healthy muffin. Overall I think the school does a good job of promoting positive health practices throughout the school grounds. **__ PROMOTIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS __** <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt;">In order for the Healthy Happy Humans Hooray! Day to reach its full potential, we need the vital support of the family and friends of all the students enrolled at St Mary’s primary School Rushworth. We have an educational, exciting day planned for every student and we would love to share this day with you, the parents, friends and school community. Many businesses have jumped on board to sponsor us on the day by providing food, equipment, transport just to name a few and we extend an open invitation to everyone involved with St Mary’s to come and assist on the day or experience the day for themselves. By attending on the day, not only will you find it rewarding, you will leave knowing much more then you first anticipated, whether it be in the culinary world of healthy food ideas for your children’s lunchbox to a new sport, perhaps boxing? Or gymnastics? It will prove to be a very rewarding day for people of ALL ages. **__<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt;">RESOURCES AND BUDGETS: __** The following resources will be required for our Healthy Activity day: BOXING: <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· 12 sets of boxing mitts <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· 12 sets punching mitts. <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· 12 skipping ropes. <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· 12 floor mats.
