Some Buderim Mountain State School students have been receiving mentoring as part of a SunnyKids sports mentoring program delivering a lot more than just activity and fitness. The program was funded by a Buderim Foundation community grant.
We know that sport is great for kids. It keeps them fit, gives them a break from computers and screens and provides opportunities for social growth. However, we are now discovering extra benefits when sporting activity is enhanced with qualified mentoring and guidance. These include improved emotional and behavioural responses.
