Week Eleven - November 17th, 2023
Dubai Fitness Challenge sparks an exciting month-long celebration of fitness and wellness. It challenges individuals to complete 30 minutes of exercise each day for 30 days (30X30). The challenge aims to inspire everyone to create a fitness-focused mindset and seek healthy, active lifestyles. To celebrate this initiative, GIS will be hosting a range of sporting activities over the next 4 weeks. Alongside PHE lessons, there will be opportunities for pupils to participate in a range of fitness/sporting challenges. Also included are opportunities for staff to get involved in some fun, competitive, and fitness-related activities. Please see the attached calendar for more information.
