What is Go4Fun®?
Go4Fun® is a free NSW Health program for children aged 7 to 13 who are above a healthy weight, and their families.
Run by trained health and community professionals, it is a fun way to build self-esteem, learn about eating well, staying active and living a healthy life. Go4Fun® aims to encourage healthy behaviour change early, to ensure healthy habits are maintained in to adulthood.
Go4Fun® runs once a week over a 10 week school term. Each session is 2 hours.
The first hour involves interactive learning and discussions around healthy behaviours,
the second hour is a fun play based session which aims to build confidence, get active and make new friends.
Go4Fun® benefits schools by ensuring children who may need extra support around healthy choices and self-esteem, are not left behind. Best of all, it is completely free!
