At RPS, staying active and healthy goes hand in hand with every student’s life. Well-being and physical fitness are the pillars of enjoyment and success during studies. RPS incorporates diversified sports, games, and wellness programs to ensure students are high achievers in academics and possess healthy and fit bodies. Let’s see how RPS commits to helping every child maintain their health and fitness.
Why Physical Fitness Matters
Strong Body, Sharp Mind
A substantial body leads to a sharp mind. It ensures that kids sit in class for longer hours as the body can work with all vigour to ensure proper learning. RPS believes that when the body is healthy, so is the brain, which leads to enhanced concentration and productivity in school.
Boosts Confidence and Self-Esteem
Taking part in any form of physical activity makes students feel more confident. Being active builds self-esteem, whether playing a sport, running a race, or even learning a new dance move. Children who often participate in physical activities feel more positive about themselves, reflecting how they interact with friends and teachers.
How RPS Encourages Physical Fitness
A Wide Range of Sports and Activities
RPS provides each child with every type of game and physical activity according to every child’s hobbies. There are activities for everyone, from some of the highly popular games, including football, basketball, and cricket, to something more fun with swimming, yoga, and dancing. In this manner, we facilitate the students through various options by ensuring that a child can opt for an activity of his interest so that it is not difficult to retain the active form.
Our daily PE classes aim to keep students always on the move and energetic throughout the day. Engaging warm-ups, games, and team sports make PE at RPS a time that every student looks forward to. These classes are about being active and instilling important life skills, such as teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship.
Fun and Friendly Competitions
At RPS, a little healthy competition motivates students to stay active. Throughout the year, we host various inter-house and inter-school competitions. From sports tournaments to fitness challenges, these events allow students to showcase their talents, build team spirit, and make new friends.
Promoting Well-being Beyond Sports
Mental Health Matters Too
Being healthy means having a fit body and a healthy mind. RPS has designed mental wellness programs for its students to ensure stress management, calmness, composedness, and a positive outlook. Various exercises, such as mindfulness and breathing exercises are performed during school hours to keep our students physically and mentally fit.
Fun Ways to Stay Active
Playground Time
Playtime and recess at RPS are usually enjoyable. The large, clean, well-kept playgrounds offer open areas, swings, and slides so kids can run about and play until they’re satisfied. Playing tag with their pals or playing friendly football against one another are examples of how youngsters can let go and enjoy happiness and freedom at recess.
Dance, Dance, Dance!
Music and rhythm lovers find a home in RPS dance classes, which get the students moving in a fun and creative fashion. It is fantastic to improve flexibility, strength, and coordination, all by having fun with friends. Students can express their feelings through dance, from classical dances to modern steps.
Fun and Friendly Competitions
At RPS, a little healthy competition motivates the students to be active throughout the year. In this regard, we host different inter-house and inter-school competitions. Be it sports tournaments or fitness challenges, these events allow students to demonstrate their talents and build team spirit while making friends along the way.
Teachers’ Role/Coaches
Encouragement and Support
The teachers and coaches at RPS motivate students to be active and healthy. They not only teach physical skills but also guide, encourage, and support them. Whether a child is a beginner or an experienced athlete, our coaches ensure that every student feels included and valued.
Leading by Example
The staff also shows excellent role-modelling for the students by educating them on an active and healthy lifestyle. RPS teachers and coaches create a wonderful school life that includes joyful exercise and its advantages, as either the children play hoops or a coach can conduct yoga for the class.
Conclusion
The RPS commitment to physical fitness and well-being means that each student can keep fit, healthy, and happy. RPS promotes a holistic health and wellness package through various sporting activities, daily PE classes, well-balanced meals, mental health programs, and
just plain fun and games. Promoting physical well-being will lead to a healthy mind, getting our students well-prepared in every walk of life. Let’s stay active and healthy while having fun doing it!
