Colbinabbin is a small farming town in central Victoria, in the Campaspe shire of the Loddon Mallee Region. It is located approximately 60km from Echuca on the Bendigo Murchison Road (Shire of Campaspe, 2007). The strong farming presence in the township is aided by the Waranga - Mallee channel which runs through the town and is used for irrigation. Colbinabbin has been known for its production of wheat, barley, oats, canola and tomatoes and in recent years has attracted much interest from wine makers, due to the quality of soils in the region. The town’s recreation reserve caters for many sports, including football, netball, bowls, cricket and is also home to the local swimming pool (Shire of Campaspe, 2007). There is an important relationship between student, staff and community well-being and the ability of any school to function at its best and achieve all that is expected from the process of formal school education. If people in schools are happy and healthy they can learn, work and play better (Queensland Government, 2005).
 * OVERVIEW: ** 

The purpose of the Healthy Activity Day is based on the Health Promoting Schools Framework. We aim to provide a fun and informative day for children and staff of Colbinabbin Primary School which is based on the benefits of healthy lifestyles, including healthy eating, physical activity and implementing the ideas around this into their everyday life. We envision that in order to improve overall wellbeing, the information provided on the day will be retained and implemented for use moving into the future.

**RATIONALE: **  The Colbinabbin Primary School has indicated that there is a need to educate students about the benefits of a healthy diet and healthy living. We want to encourage students to be proactive about leading a healthy lifestyle which may also include getting parents involved. Our team of 2nd and 4th year Physical and Health Education students from La Trobe University, as part of the ‘Sowing the seeds of Wellbeing Program’, will develop a healthy activity day, based on the Health Promoting Schools Framework (Australian Health Promoting Schools Association, 2007).

According to the Campaspe Primary Care Partnership Community Wellbeing Profile, April 2009, a study was undertaken in 2001 to determine the life expectancy of those in the Campaspe region. “According to the Burden of Disease study, males and females residing in the Campaspe PCP [Primary Care Partnerships] area had a poorer health status than the Victorian average” (Vaughn, 2009). In addition to this, some points of interest from the report show that the Campaspe region as a whole had a higher level of physical inactivity compared to the Victorian average, had a higher rate of obesity than the Victorian average as well as a lower rate of fruit consumption (of 2 or more servings per day). All of these items are considered risk factors for chronic disease.

The foundation of our intervention is the need for greater awareness of the benefits of healthy lifestyles. A healthy diet is very important for everyone, it is particularly important to establish this information with children in the early years to ensure its longevity in their lives and increase the use of healthy foods, as opposed to occasional foods. The Better Health Channel states that 'School age is the perfect time for children to learn about healthy food, bodies and activity' (2009). Healthy living is also very important. Healthy activities, such as team sports and games assist in a healthy body, but also helps build strong relationships with others. According to Better Health Channel 'children learn by example, which is why sedentary children tend to come from sedentary families' (2009)., our program aims to begin building healthy eating and living skills in students now to grow with them into adulthood. Knowledge about different food types, how to plant and maintain food and preparing food safely is essential to building a healthy lifestyle. We will be aiming to improve knowledge regarding the benefits of healthy lifestyles through the activities will be facilitating on the day. The garden and planting activities will be used to educate students about where healthy foods come from and how they can grow their own healthy food at home instead of buying it at the supermarket. The pancakes and smoothies will be used to give practical, simple and tasty ways to include fruit servings into the daily diet. Finally the physical activity learnt on the day will expose the students to sports they have never played before and enable them to experience new skills away from the traditional sports of football and netball.

Depending on whether the school has a large undercover area we may need to plant <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> trees in pots in the classroom. Our physical activity lessons that are planned to be outside could be modified so that the students can enjoy games inside. Although they may not get as much physical activity the games we could play include sitting volleyball, indoor sitting soccer, and pony express. If it is wet the gardening activities will take place in the classroom and this will include students planting their own plants in plastic cups and talking about how they could be transferred outside. As we have recently found out that there is not a large undercover area if it does happen to be wet we will split up into small groups for minor games that will be held in the classrooms.

**First Aid:** We need to be aware from the beginning of the day what the procedures are for any students that may need first aid. We will follow the schools procedures and use school first aid kits if need be.

If one of us happens to be sick or unavailable to attend on the day, then we need to let our other team members know straight away. We do have a group of 9 so we should be able to cover for them. We also need to inform the school at the beginning of the day. As future teachers we need to be flexible in adapting to any changes that may occur on the day. By being organised and ensuring we all know what is expected we should have a fun Healthy Activity Day.

Students will also be asked to wear their favourite sporting team’s clothes to school for the healthy activity day (ie. favourite footy/netball teams).

The policies that we have received include Colbinabbin's Healthy Food's Policy, Sunsmart Policy and Physical Education and Sport Policy. We will adhere to these policies by: SunSmart: - Wearing appropriate clothing, including hats and providing sunscreen to the students at regular intervals during the day. - Conduct activities in the shade where possible between 11am and 3pm. Healthy Foods: - Promote and encourage healthy eating. - Ensure there are plenty of drink breaks during the day. - Provide information and pamphlets about healthy eating and recipes that they can use at home. Physical Education and Sport: - Provide opportunities for all children to participate and have fun. - Include fitness and games in the physical activity session. - Reduce the empasis on winning.

After Completion of our "Healthy Activity Day" it can be concluded that we adhered to most of the policies. As it was a rainy day, we did not provide sunscreen to the students and we did not wear hats. We definitely promoted and encouraged healthy eating by conducting cooking classes and talking about the importance of healthy eating. Drink breaks were not really enforced throughout the day, however children were given drinker bottles which they loved and then carried with them for the rest of the day. In their show bag they were provided with pamphlets, information, recipes and apparatus to develop their skills and knowledge to live a healthy lifestyle. In regards to physical education and sport all children were given opportunities to participate and have fun. They were all active and the emphasis was not on winning. During the day we made informed decisions as a group to adhere to policies that were relevant on the day.

School ethos ensures all school members; teachers, students, other staff and community members are working together toward a common goal. Goals are generally beneficial to the school as a community and its individuals. Ethos gives schools a sense of self as a whole community. Environment is the physical surrounds, but includes how individuals feel about and in their environment. Most school communities aim for the environment to be welcoming, comfortable and safe for students. · Find out schools current ethos or hypothetically incorporate our own ethos, e.g. encourage team work, positive encouragement and support for our teammates and classmates, sun-smart policy etc. · Incorporate this into our Healthy Activity Day · Enable school to elaborate on our activities after the day to increase knowledge of school community · Work with school staff, community members and health educators
 * What is Environment?**
 * To enhance school ethos we need to:**

· Remove potential hazards from planned activity area · Plan activities away from dangerous areas, if any. · Highlight boundary areas for students · Include principles of play such as; rules, fair play, positive feedback
 * In terms of environment we can:**
