The school is continually striving to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community. With help from our teachers, students, parents and wider community, we hope that in 2021 our school will renew our Active School Flag and continue to be recognised as an official ‘Active School’. As always, when the school community puts our collective minds to something, we can achieve big things. This will be no different. So with everyone’s help, ideas and support, we expect to be flying our second Active School Flag with pride next year.
Get Active!
To remain and renew our status as an Active School, we will need to focus on 5 key areas.
Energise the school day and the school year: We will be including ideas such as DEAR and DEAD (Drop Everything And Run / Drop Everything And Dance), an Active School Week built around our traditional sports day, rainy day lunch activities and plenty of extra-curricular physical activities to boost the energy levels of our students.
Create stimulating playgrounds: We are striving to make our playgrounds positive, fun, inspiring environments for all.
Introduce variety: One size doesn’t fit all! We want to introduce children to as many different activities as possible. We invite the local community, sports clubs, physical activity facilitators to visit our school to give ‘taster’ training sessions to our students.
Inclusivity: At all times we must ensure that all children can participate in these activities. We will need to focus on the children that are less active and try to find things that will interest them. Lastly, we will aim to show the children that adults enjoy physical activity also by organising whole school activities involving teachers, parents and students.
Make it fun! We want this project to be a positive and fun experience for all.
Event Calendar 2020 / 2021
Each month, the whole school will engage in a different physical activity. The plan for the 2020 / 2021 school year is on our BLOG. As you can see, there is a wide variety of activities for the children to get involved with. It all culminates with our Active School Week in June
Get Involved: Become a Monivea School Partner
If you are involved in a sports club or are physical activity providers then we would be delighted to hear from you. We actively encourage the local community to come and visit our school especially during our Active School Week in June. Give a taster session of your activity to the children. We like to include new activities each year. Here are just some of the activities we welcomed so far

Yoga
Boxing

Taekwondo
For Monivea to remain an active school – we really do need your help. So please volunteer your time to help us achieve this goal. If people in the community have ideas, can lend a helping hand, then get in contact with the school. The teachers leading this school project are listed below.
