Healthy Living. This introductory level course helps students to understand how their choices in a wide range of areas affect them and those around them. In this course, students will be instructed in the basic tenets of living healthy lifestyles and making healthy choices in areas such as: food/nutrition (food types and amounts); fitting a reasonable fitness plan into daily life; the necessity of sleep and effects of sleep deprivation; personal hygiene; wellness practices; how we interact with others; and how we interact with the world around us including instruction on stress management; handling interpersonal conflicts; alcohol, drug, and tobacco use.
Healthy Living. Fife College is fully committed to enriching and nourishing lives through their health and wellness programme, Healthy for Life, which combines food, nutrition and broader health awareness initiatives to provide a comprehensive staff and student health and wellbeing service. Initiatives include highlighting two new ‘food focus’ themes each quarter, including healthy menu options, which is supported by themed posters, recipe cards, newsletters, blogs, point of sale information and a new stamp that identifies dishes that have been analysed by chefs, nutrition experts and dieticians. The College has held the Healthy Living Award since 2016. The Healthy Living Award is part of a drive to tackle health inequalities as outlined in NHS Health Scotland’s five year strategy ‘A Fairer Healthier Scotland’, and recognises caterers who make it easier for customers make healthier choices. The FCSA and Fife College have been taking part in the Healthy Body Healthy Mind Awards for the past 4 years, going from being awarded 2 stars in our first year, to 4 stars last year. The FCSA has a dedicated working group, which leads on this award and on all work related to improving students wellbeing. Our participation with the HBHM Award highlights our commitment to promote and improve the health and wellbeing of our students. Our work focused on physical health, mental health and smoking prevention and cessation. As part of our activities promoting physical and mental health the FCSA runs a yearly Be Active week and dedicates a calendar month to physical health initiatives and another calendar month to mental health initiatives. Fife College works closely with the Action for Health Working Group. The College has achieved Silver Award and are now aiming to achieve Gold Award.

Healthy Living. I understand that the school will encourage my child to have a healthy lifestyle, I will give my child healthy food and drinks to take to school and I support the choices made by the school in this respect. I will encourage my child to take an active part in all sports and enrichment activities. I will ensure that my child arrives to school on time every day (8.30am), except in cases of illness or another legitimate reason. If my child is absent, I will contact the school by 9am on the day of absence to report why my child is absent. If an absence lasts for more than one day, I will continue to keep the Attendance Officer informed. I will provide medical evidence for every absence where requested and understand that the school uses the Fast Track system to monitor and support good attendance of all of its pupils. I will always make myself available to the school by providing details (phone and email) for at least two emergency contacts which are regularly updated. I will communicate with the school in a timely and polite manner, in line with the school’s character virtues. I will read all reports carefully, attend parents’ meetings, regularly check Class Charts and check and sign any monitoring documents. I will make sure my child wears the full school uniform every day, or allow them to wear clean replacement uniform provided by the school. I will make sure that my child has their full PREP equipment every day, including their homework folder, planner and a reading book. I understand that the school takes no responsibility for the damage, loss or theft of any personal electronic devices or items of value. I understand that if my child chooses to not wear correct uniform, or does not have equipment, it may mean they will remain in school after 2.15pm on a Friday.
Healthy Living. In the same issue of the British Medical Journal cited above, a study that compared the longevity of European old master painters and sculptors was reviewed (Xxxxxx, 2007). The study compared 262 great painters and 144 great sculptors, and found that the “old master sculptors lived, on average, three years longer than the old master painters.” Among other reasons, the authors pointed out that sculpting stone is a more strenuous activity than painting. Doesn’t this make sense? Xxxxxxxxxxxx, who apparently saw himself predominantly as a sculptor, and created some breathtaking sculptures, lived to the ripe old age of 89 years — certainly above average for the 16th century. He was also known to be “indifferent to food and drink, eating ‘more out of necessity than of pleasure’” (Wikipedia). (Although, there were probably fewer convenience stores and candy bars back then.) Living in a house with stairs, your body and — more importantly — your mind, begins to expect movement in order to get things done. Living in a house with stairs, your body and, more importantly your mind, begins to expect movement in order to get things done. This is much different than programming your body and mind to expect inactivity (e.g. sitting on the couch, and watching television in one’s bedroom). Our children (ages eight, six, and four), have grown up in a house with a bunch of steps. Not once have they complained about that fact. “I’m too tired to go to school,” “I’m not hungry for fruit,” “Can you put my shoes on for me?,” “Can you brush my teeth?,” are common refrains. But not, “There are too many steps in this house.” I’m sure some day we’ll hear this comment, but so far the children have been silent on this issue, the number of stairs accepted as a given. I think it’s because the steps are built into our environment; they are unavoidable. It’s like playing on a swing. Children learn that if they want to have fun on a swing they’ve got to be pumping their legs. Xxxxxxxxxxxx had a talent and love for sculpting. We bought a multilevel home. Look for ways to integrate physical activity into your program. As an effort to improve children’s health and nutrition, expand your list of strategies to include new program policies and community linkages. First, develop and refine your program’s health policy to call attention to the fact that health is critical to successful early learning. Among other important topics, highlight your chosen strategy for modeling healthy behaviors (e.g. ph...
