Well-being Resources for Hastings family
Stay Calm, Stay Healthy & Stay at Home
How we promote well-being in the school community?
We launched the well-being page on our website to support our school community during the COVID-19 health crisis. This page contains three sections: Physical Well-being, Emotional Well-being, and Cognita Be Well Tips.
You will find useful resources in the relevant sections.
Stay Active! Keep your Well-being
Cognita Home Games
Sport and being active is a key part of our wellbeing, which is especially important in these unprecedented times. This is why, we are delighted to be able to participate in the Cognita Home Games (CHG).
Students and their families (parents included!) from Hastings School will join their teachers in an Olympics-style global lockdown competition with thousands of students in schools around the world. Potentially we could have over 100k people involved in this!
Hastings Daily Physical Activity at Home
Stay active every day by following the training sessions designed by our PE Department!
Students should complete the WOD (= Workout Of the Day) Monday to Friday. They will complete it during the PE time if they have a lesson on that day; if they don’t have one, they will do it after school!
Enjoy a different week routine… being active!
The PE department have put together lots of wonderful activities to keep you and your children fit and active.
There is a daily timetable with differentiated resources depending on the age of your child.
