Take The Challenge (TTC) Aims
The program promotes being ac2ve, drinking water and ea2ng healthy food as a means of bea2ng lifestyle diseases.
Who does it? TTC was released in 2011 with 8,200 primary school students taking part. Uptake of the program consistently increased in subsequent years. The success of the program was in part, due to the program aligning well with the WA Healthy Schools Project.
Feedback from teachers consistently reports that students’ have a beSer understanding of the preven2on of lifestyle diseases and they have par2cipated in more physical ac2vity than they would usually do.
