TWO local schools will get the wheels turning with $6000 worth of grants as part of the State Government ‘Go For Your Life’ program.
Kooweerup and Powlett River Primary Schools will get the ‘Healthy Start’ grants that will go to Eastern Region
Upper House MP for Eastern Victoria Region, Johan Scheffer, said the grants would encourage students’ families to develop healthy living cultures at home.
“When parents see schools creating new vegetable gardens and purchasing new sporting and fitness equipment they receive a very clear message about the importance of promoting healthy eating and physical activities to their children,” he said.
“It is a joint responsibility for both schools and families to encourage students to embrace the healthy living messages that will put them on the path to living long and healthy lives.”
The two schools were among 173 Victorian Government schools with primary students receiving Healthy Start grants this year.
