The first 30 minutes of the school day are dedicated to Moving Minds. Moving Minds promotes physical activity and supports regulation. There is a wealth of evidence that increasing students’ physical activity is directly connected to improved academic outcomes. The benefits of being active at school include improvements in the following:
- Classroom behaviour
- Brain function
- Concentration
- Learning outcomes
- Motivation
- Social interactions
- Physical health
- Emotional and psychological well-being
Each class participates in an activity for two weeks. Extra staff will be available to support students’ engagement and participation in the activity.
