Get fit and learn smart!

What does the programme involve?

‘Fit and Focused: Smart Learning!’ consists of three interactive guest lessons (during form time) delivered by students from the Sport and Exercise programme at ROC Aventus. Pupils discover how lifestyle choices affect their academic performance. The focus is on the short-term effects of healthy choices: how can you concentrate better, have more energy and learn more effectively – especially during exam weeks?

The lessons cover:

• Nutrition
• Drinking water
• Exercise
• Sleep

Students share relatable examples from their own lives, engage in discussion with the class and carry out practical exercises together. The lessons are closely aligned with young people’s everyday experiences. The aim is to help pupils realise that a healthy lifestyle is not only good for your body, but also for your academic performance. In addition to the guest lessons during form time, there is also the option to add one or two PE lessons to the programme. During these lessons, the theme of exercise and learning is explored in an active way, with practical tasks and sporting challenges.
