“We embed healthy lifestyle choices throughout our curriculum from zero to five years and we will extend on that by playing games that involve kicking goals, discussions about healthy eating and then having a picnic on the day,” centre manager Erin Judge said.
People will be encouraged to make donations to the Fight Cancer Foundation, a national charity providing care, treatment and support to cancer patients.
The foundation is trying to address the gap in educational support for kids and young people living with cancer.
