Daily Physical Activity |
 |
We know that active, healthy students are happier and learn better. They also develop good habits that bring better chances of longer, healthier lives.
To help students achieve their best, the Ministry of Education has announced the introduction of Daily Physical Activity, for all schools and students in B.C.
Schools will provide 30 minutes of daily physical activity up to Grade 9; students in Grades 10 to 12 will perform an average of 150 minutes a week of daily physical activity as part of their graduation requirements.
Daily Physical Activity works alongside other Government initiatives, such as the Healthy Schools Network, Action Schools! BC, the School Fruit and Vegetable Snack program and revisions to guidelines for the sale of food and beverages within schools, all of which are tackling B.C’s obesity and healthy living challenges.
