The Naplan results for 2011 indicate Year 3 students are slightly above average in Literacy and Numeracy results. Overall Year 5
student Naplan results indicate Literacy is on target, however maths results were significantly below state and region. Therefore,
this will be a target in 2012.
Currently at Lawson Primary, healthy active lifestyles are developed through the crunch and sip program, daily physical
education including participation in Jump Rope for Heart program and successful sporting teams and carnivals. For example
during term 1, students engage in a gymnastics program run by ‘Be Skilled, Be Fit’. This program has an enormous success with
all students K-6 developing a range of new skills in the area of gymnastics.

Obesity
Factors that lead to childhood
obesity
•
lack of breastfeeding, poor
intrauterine nutrition, low birth
weight, timing of maturity and
poor diet and low levels of
physical activity (AIHW, 2012).
Why is obesity a priority health area?
• Australia ranks fifth in the world for adult obesity
• Strong link between excess body weight and Type 2 diabetes
• Serious risk factors such as cardiovascular disease, and some cancers
Intervention and prevention
• Fat tax
• Promotion of healthy eating programs in in schools
• The government is helping by helping Australians' live healthier active
lifestyles through a range of initiatives
• Reduce children's’ exposure to marketing and advertising of energydense, nutrition poor foods and beverages

An International snapshot of the Health status of
Australia's children
These images provide a current indication of where Australia’s childhood obesity levels compare with the other
countries around the world. For further investigation please click on the link

Globally, obesity rates are still high, and according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD), Australia ranks fifth in the world for adult obesity, with a rate of 26.6 percent (BMG,
2012). Monash Obesity and Diabetes Institute 2012, states that Australia has ‘more than doubled in the past
20 years’ with around one in four adults being obese (AIHW, 2012).

Outcomes
•
In today’s society it is important that all individuals engage in living an active healthy lifestyle.
The demands of contemporary living have raised many concerns at global, national and state levels
in relation to developing public awareness of obesity, through educating individuals in how to lead
a healthy lifestyle, and to promote a love for life-long physical activity.
•
Through targeting obesity, our group intends to focus on Nutrition Education, along with
Preventative measures to achieve the development of the skills, knowledge and positive values and
attitudes in leading a long healthy and active lifestyle.
•
The program will not only aim to encourage children to be more active; engaging in vigorous
physical activity to promote optimal health, but to ensure that they are well educated on the serious
health issues related to obesity, and the preventative measures that can be taken to avoid illness and
disease in later life.
•
Additionally, we aim to inspire children and to nurture positive attitudes towards making healthy
conscious decisions about the importance of balanced eating habits, including identifying food
groups for good health and regular participation in physical activity.
•
Furthermore, it is also important that we aim to develop children’s knowledge to be able to
communicate with their parents, peers, and the wider community the values of Nutrition Education
and preventive measures to pursue a well-informed quality life, which has been shaped by
professional programing based on the foundations on the New South Wales K-6 PDHPE syllabus.
