How to make the best use of our Senior Homework Diaries
HEALTHY BODY, HEALTHY MIND
All too often, while we are encouraging students to work hard at their studies and
learning, a more important aspect of their lives can be neglected. That is, their personal
health and wellbeing, comprising exercise, nutrition and relaxation.
To operate to their potential, the Healthy Body/Healthy Mind approach is essential.
With the bombardment of advertising directed towards them that attempts to sway them
away from this positive lifestyle, it is vital that we continually feed them positive
messages and role model this as parents and teachers.
As we are all well aware, children are very impressionable while going through
adolescence and it is essential for parents and teachers to cultivate resilience in them to
cope and thrive. The key is to realise that all the little scenes contribute to balance in the
big picture; a shortfall in one will adversely impact on the others.
In the Senior Homework Diary there are focuses that strive to reinforce the Healthy
Body/Healthy Mind approach:Tips for Healthy Living
Looking After Myself
Sleep and Eyes
Health Stocktake and Goals
