Wagga School Leaders Program Module 4

Committee 4 Wagga School Leaders Program completed Module 4 – Me and My Health and Wellbeing. In this Module the students commenced with an exercise class at Workout Wagga. Margo McFadden took the students through a series of warm-up exercises before engaging them in a circuit-style exercise class. Margo imparted to the students how important balance is and that exercise is a good outlet for stress and important to have a routine.

The students then proceeded to the Townhouse where a session of Food for Fuel was presented by Dietician Jocelyn Williams. Jocelyn gave the students ideas on having more fruit and vegetables in their diet, the importance of drinking water, don’t skip breakfast and add colour and variety. Jocelyn included in her presentation 6 Steps to be and feel happier which were food, drink, exercise, activity, stress and sleep.  The students were very interactive and asked many questions. The evening concluded with Jocelyn challenging the students to “Think of at least one thing from today’s session that you can do differently” to have a positive influence on their health
