What do you get when over a 1000 Phys Ed/Health/Sport teachers gather for a conference?
A whole lot of energy, enthusiasm, tracksuits and of course, opportunities to connect and reconnect.
I attended the 2010 Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation annual conference which took place over the past two days. And as always, I am filled with great new ideas, greater determination, and a more defined purpose.
Physical Education - whether it be at home/school/sporting club - is learning how to move, to do and to play. With knowledge comes confidence and with confidence comes participation.
This year, the theme was 'It's About Time' - to take stock of the amount of time assigned to PE classes in busy crowded school curricula and about lobbying for more PE.
I also think it could be about making time to participate in physical activity with our children. As parents we can give our little ones a wide range of positive physical experiences - and our time.
So I have a few new topics and ideas to help do just that - and will share these ideas over the coming days.
