Each and every child, regardless of circumstances, has the right to an inclusive, equitable, and quality education that enables them to achieve their full potential. (United Nations – Declaration of the Rights of the Child)
School is about more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic – it is about supporting the whole child (physical, social, emotional, cognitive). Together we can make a difference, and ensure each and every child has access to a safe and healthy learning environment and quality physical and health education experiences, setting them on a path to a healthy, active lifestyle. To make an impact:
