Across Canada and the United States, Activ8 has been implemented by teachers to improve the physical health and well being of their students. Designed by teachers, for teachers, the program fits into a twenty-minute time slot and does not require special equipment.
This exciting physical activity program can be easily implemented by any teacher. Because it is designed as daily activity, students are encouraged to develop healthy fitness behaviours for life.
The philosophy of this total fitness approach considers the need to engage children physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially. The program is designed to meet the needs of each student on an individual basis in order for everyone to experience success at their own level.
Students are exposed to a non-threatening environment that enables, engages and empowers the child by helping them develop their own inner discipline. This enriches their self-concept and helps build positive self-esteem. The Activ8 website has many links, tools and success stories of schools that are GETTING A MOVE ON HEALTH!
Highgate is just one example of an Activ8 program for ALL students of ALL abilities to participate actively outside of the school.
