Here at Port Macquarie Performing Arts, we strive in aiding your children to be the happiest and healthiest they can be, upon noticing a recent study of Australian students conducted by the Cancer Council and the National Heart Foundation found that a huge 85 per cent of children were not getting enough exercise.
So, want to know how to keep your kid active?

1. Commit to a weekly class!
Attending class as part of your weekly schedule promotes consistency and a good active routine.

Kids love it when Mum, Dad and Grandparents join in the fun! PMPAs Mini Movers and Kindy Gym classes are perfect for this.
