3 Steps to Bone Health

The Healthy Bones Action Week competition is now closed.

Healthy Harold was blown away by all of the amazing entries. A big congratulations to the below schools who have won $500 towards sporting equipment for their school.

• Minnamurra Public School, WA

We would like to thank all the students and community groups for taking the time to submit your awesome videos. You can check out the winning entries below.

Primary school is a crucial time for Aussie kids to build strong bones for life and ensure their daily routine includes the three key steps to maintaining good bone health.

To celebrate Heathy Bones Action Week, we have partnered with Life Education Australia to ask Aussie kids to design, create and run through a breakthrough ‘healthy bones’ banner for a chance to win 1 of 7 $500 sports equipment prizes for their school. We are looking for bright, original and inventive ideas!

All you must do is:

1. Design and create a crushable banner that meets the key criteria (see below for details)
2. Film yourself crashing through your banner
3. Submit your video to the Life Education.

The banner is inspired by the kind Aussie rules players run through before a game and represents the importance of keeping active and having fun whilst doing so. Competition opens on the 16–29 August 2021. 

With Life Education Australia, we are also developing Bone Augmentation technology that will be used in their Healthy Harold vans. Stay tuned for further details and how to register your school.
