North Sydney Local Health District Go4Fun

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—I would like to acknowledge the Northern Sydney Local Health District's adoption of the Go4Fun initiative aimed towards encouraging and educating children and their families to build healthy habits. Introduced by NSW Health, Go4Fun is a free ten week program for children aged seven to thirteen above a healthy weight focused on providing nutritional information, advice, and activities to encourage healthy lifestyle changes and improvements in self-esteem. Exercise and learning are delivered through games to show children that making healthy choices can be comfortable and enjoyable. The program also involves parents to help make positive lifestyle changes in families. I look forward to seeing this program continue in Term 4 of this year and have faith that it will prove to be a success. I would also like to thank everybody involved in the foundation and running of the program for all your efforts towards developing better and positive mindset on staying healthy in our local community.
