Health and Wellness Day
Health and Wellness Day at Shawnigan has been given high marks by our grade 11 and 12 students. The conference was designed to expose the seniors to a variety of speakers who addressed topics focused on recognizing and sustaining a healthy lifestyle. The range of topics covered included nutrition and sports, buying and preparing healthy foods, goal setting for success, using your brain to maximize performance, sexual health, internet safety and self-defense. In addition, we featured experts on Zen meditation, acupuncture, yoga, stress management and strength training. Students each attended three sessions of their choice. We hope that what they experienced inspired the participants, and that they will be able to apply this new learning to their own lives.
