Assessing what improvements they have made over the course of the last 6 weeks and identifying areas they may need to still improve on for future goal setting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am sure the students have a greater understanding of why fitness should be a lifelong focus and we are confident that students have been able to increase their understanding of not only how to create effective workouts to improve their own fitness, or that of another. But also the value that paying attention to some of the key health related components of fitness such as cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance can have on their general health and ability to perform daily tasks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We should all strive to ensure that we are finding enjoyable ways to partake in physical activity that will support the development of our physical well-being. Whether that be going on walks, playing futsal with friends, scuba diving, yoga or paddle boarding. We are so fortunate to live in an environment and community that allows us to have such a wonderful array of outdoor pursuits to enjoy and keep us active and healthy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to the following students for being recognised by their teachers as being some of the \u201cbiggest winners\u201d throughout the unit for their effort, participation and demonstration of knowledge and understanding of the topics covered.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1-1-724x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1-1-724x1024.png 724w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1-1-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1-1-768x1086.png 768w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1-1-1086x1536.png 1086w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1-1-255x361.png 255w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1-1.png 1414w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15463\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2-1-724x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2-1-724x1024.png 724w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2-1-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2-1-768x1086.png 768w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2-1-1086x1536.png 1086w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2-1-255x361.png 255w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2-1.png 1414w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff who volunteered to go where \u2018no KIS staff\u2019 have gone before and put themselves bravely at the mercy of the students.
