Healthy heroes fit the bill

A galaxy of stars helped launch Lighthouse Christian College’s Active April efforts on 3 April.

The Keysborough school hosted TV sports presenters Nathan Currie and Natalie Yoannidis, as well as St Kilda footballer Jade Gresham, Melbourne Rebels rugby players Luke Jones and Campbell Magnay and Olympian and Paralympian Milly Tapper.

Premier’s Active April encourages people to do 30 minutes of physical activity a day this month.

“The main aim of the launch is to encourage our school community to continue to keep fit and healthy and to show them the different ways that they can do this,” a college spokesperson said.

“We also want to celebrate our sports stars and also encourage our students to pursue their sporting goals too.”
