Opoho School promotes a high level of physical activity and health.

We have recently completed an initiative called Active Schools.

Active Schools aims to improve physical activity opportunities and experiences in our primary schools by:

• providing schools with a quality teaching resource outlining co-curricula and cross-curricula physical activity opportunities for kids throughout the school day
• working with teachers to help them get the most from the Active Schools teaching resource
• supporting collaborative school and community-wide physical activity planning.

Active Schools is also helping create the sports heroes of the future, giving children essential, basic physical skills early on.

Opoho School offers a wide range of physical activity both during and outside school hours. Some of these include: Miniball, teeball, hockey, netball, swimming tuition, jump jam, athletics, gymnastics, activ8, walk and wheels days and daily fitness. Local clubs are also promoted: Click here to find contacts for your preferred sport:	Click here if you would like some great ideas for activities for your family to get active.
Recently our Physical Activity Leaders (PALs) have planned wheel activities for scooters and skateboards. Safety, wheel skills and fun are the priorities. They plan and organise the lunchtime circuits for pupils at Opoho School.
