WEET-BIX ACTIVE BANDS

Dear Parents & Guardians

New Free Program

 We are super excited to launch Athletic Australia’s Weet-Bix™ Active Bands to our PE and active games program, and at zero cost to our school community!

 Weet-Bix Active Bands has been created by Athletics Australia to get kids moving and increase physical literacy.  Research continually shows active kids perform better in the classroom and maintain better health and wellbeing.   

 Combining a super cool wristband with an interactive app, Weet-Bix Active Bands is a fun, FREE way for kids to keep kids active and be rewarded along the way.  It can be hard to think of ideas to keep our kids active and having fun, Weet-Bix Active Bands solves that problem by providing heaps of fun activities and challenges for kids to complete.

 Best of all your child can use their Weet-Bix Active Bands at home and at school.  We will be using Active Bands at school during selected physical activities, so let’s capture all their physical activity together!

 Next week your child will bring home their new Weet-Bix Active Bands wristband. Please scan the QR code on the backing card, follow the easy prompts to download the app and register your child’s wristband.

There is a lot of enthusiasm in the playground to keep those digital avatars happy & healthy.  Remember to earn Active Points and unlock extra features, be sure to scan your kids Weet-Bix Active Bands daily for both active play at home and community sport activities!

Did you know that research shows only 19% of Aussie kids (5 – 17 years old) are getting the recommended 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise each day? We are just as concerned as you, and with the buzz surrounding the Active Bands program, we hope that together, we can help our kids move more, and more often!
