Schools

An in motion school is one that values the benefits of physical activity and ensures that it is a visible priority in the day-to-day activities. As an in motion school, there is a commitment to work towards the goal of 30 minutes of physical activity every day for every student. This can be achieved through a combination of physical activity programs, classroom physical activity breaks, recess, intramurals and special events.

An in motion school strives to enhance physical activity in a planned, integrated and holistic way by considering the components of Comprehensive School Community Health (CSCH).
