Cannonvale State School was buzzing with excitement on Sunday, October 20, as it hosted the inaugural Healthy Kids Expo. The event, aimed at "inspiring, educating, and elevating" children and their families to lead healthier and happier lives, was a resounding success. Around 150 attendees were treated to a full day of interactive activities, workshops, and educational exhibits from a diverse range of health and wellness professionals.
The Expo brought together experts from various fields, including nutrition, naturopathy, chiropractic care, physiotherapy, podiatry, psychology, fitness, yoga, and sustainability. Each exhibit provided hands-on demonstrations and practical advice for families on how to integrate healthier habits into their daily routines. From learning the importance of balanced nutrition to discovering fun and engaging ways to stay active, there was something for everyone.
Parents were particularly impressed by the array of activities designed to educate children in an interactive and engaging way. Kids were able to participate in yoga sessions, try out fitness challenges, and even explore the world of sustainable living through eco-friendly workshops.
Guest speakers delivered talks on topics ranging from strategies to limit social media to the benefits of proper posture and the importance of healthy nutrition. Local businesses and health professionals also used the opportunity to connect with the community, offering free consultations and advice.
Organiser of the expo, Tim Oberg from Healthy Kids Project, said “With such positive feedback and high turnout, I’m hopeful this will become an annual event, continuing to inspire healthier living for years to come.”
