Story by | Added 05-01-2016 | Source | Leave a Comment

Bendigo Health will provide $3000 to find the best school in the Bendigo region that is encouraging its students to be healthier.

Acting Bendigo Health chief executive officer and executive director of continuing care and healthy communities Liz Hamilton said the organisation was delighted to be involved and encouraged all schools and students to be involved to fight against obesity.

Ms Hamilton said the sponsorship reflected the ideals of the hospital, which supports healthy communities and world class healthcare.

Bendigo Sports Star of the Year committee chairperson Wendy James met with Ms Hamilton and Bendigo Health board chair Bob Cameron before confirming Bendigo Health’s continuing involvement in the program.

Ms James also thanked the organisation for its valued support.
The Healthiest School competition is a two-tiered initiative, with a lucrative $2000 on offer to the school which can demonstrate it is the healthiest in the region. A further $1000 is available to the school voted the healthiest by the general public.

Schools throughout the region are invited to nominate themselves and express the reasons why they should be voted the healthiest school for 2016.

They will also need to document what strategies or initiatives they have within their school that defines why they should win the title.

More information on the competition, including the nominations process, will be provided in next week’s Bendigo Weekly.

Now in their 51st year, the Bendigo Sports Star of the Year awards are the longest running sporting awards of their type in Australia, and are backed by Prime7 and the Bendigo Weekly.

This year’s Bendigo Sports Star of the Year awards will be held on Friday, February 26 at the All Seasons Quality Resort.
