Welches Primary School used its second annual Health and Wellness Expo to encourage students, parents and the wider community to rethink what it means to live well, placing equal emphasis on physical activity, emotional wellbeing and financial health.

Teacher and academy coordinator Jason Parris said the initiative had evolved beyond a traditional health fair.

“We are hosting our second year running our health fair. We started yesterday and moving today. Today is actually the fun aspect of it,” he said, noting that the two-day event included seminars, massages and information sessions led by health professionals.
