Take the Challenge

Classes 'virtually travel' through a selected route, throughout Western Australia, by participating in a physical activity and healthy lifestyle lesson relating to key messages.

Classes can Take the Challenge as part of a fun competition coordinated by regional population Health Units or can be used by teachers as a general resource at any time.

Take the Challenge aims to promote healthy lifestyle behaviours in students in each developmental stage. The resource endorses a health promotions schools approach and provides teachers with a number of modules which are linked to the health and physical education learning area and a range of other learning areas. Take the Challenge is funded by Healthway, the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Wheatbelt and Goldfields Population Health Units, supported by WACHS, Education and Diabetes WA.

So why not Take the Challenge?
