Congratulations Coatesville Primary school! Coatesville was crowned Glen Eira City Council’s Active Schools Champion for 2021 after encouraging their students to be healthy and active throughout October.
Active Schools — Go for Gold
Made possible by a Reimagining Health Grant thanks to @VicHealth
A total of 18 primary schools with over 7,800 students enthusiastically embraced Go for Gold and the opportunity to get active during October.
A hybrid version of the Go for Gold program was rolled out, so all students could participate equally. Those who were learning face-to-face were encouraged to walk, ride or scoot to school and those who were learning remotely were encouraged to be active twice a day at home.
Students embraced the many online options available to them including participating in GEL Anywhere livestream classes and many on-demand options such as yoga classes, learning how to juggle, exploring their local area, discovering new playgrounds or taking their dog for a walk.

Congratulations to all the participating primary schools and students of Glen Eira for embracing Go for Gold and being active for the month of October.
