STUDENTS OF HEALTH
EMILY LONE, YEAR 8 ST MARGARET MARY’S COLLEGE
IN Year 8 Health and Physical
Education for Term 3 we are focusing on health and fitness.
When people usually think of health and fitness, working out and eating healthy comes to mind.
There are many more aspects of health and fitness besides physical health, such as intellectual health, social health, emotional health, environmental health and spiritual health.
Physical health focuses on being physically active. This means to work out, exercise, go for a run, go for a walk, Zumba lessons or anything else that gets your heart pumping.
Having a good night’s sleep and watching your diet are other aspects of being physically healthy.
Intellectual health is all about being able to think clearly and critically.
Problem solving activities, our learning abilities, and knowledge learnt through life are all examples of intellectual health.
Social health means to interact with others in your community.
You can do this by joining a club, participating in a community event or just meeting people in your neighbourhood.
Emotional health consists of our ability to express and control emotions appropriately, being able to talk about your feelings and having high selfesteem.
Having inward peace in life is part of spiritual health.
Practising a philosophy or a religion can assist with your inner peace. Meditating can also help with your understanding of spiritual health.
Some ways of being environmentally healthy is by recycling, avoiding fuel-driven vehicles, enjoying the outdoors by hiking or doing an outdoor sport and getting involved in community clean-ups.
Overall, there are many more aspects to health and fitness than you may think.
We need to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and to do that we need to incorporate physical health, intellectual health, social health, emotional health, spiritual health and environmental health into our everyday life.
COMMONWEALTH Bank has unveiled a slightly rejigged logo as part of its refreshed brand identity.
Australia’s largest bank says the logo is a symbol of optimism beyond the negative impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
It won’t reveal how much it paid for the new logo design, which retains the diamond shape but replaces the black wedge at the bottom right with a deeper shade of yellow.
CBA chief marketing officer Monique Macleod said the design change came off the back of a strategy transformation focused around customers.
“We have been working to put the needs of our customers front and centre,” she said.
“With the work we are doing to reinvent the organisation around a new strategy and values, now is the right time to refresh the iconic diamond, making it lighter, brighter and more dynamic and inject new meaning into the ‘can’’ platform.” CBA first implemented the diamond logo following its full privatisation in 1991.
The bank said the changes were an “evolution” not a “revolution” of the company’s identity, with the logo and new campaign to represent the financial aspirations of Australians.
“A symbol of optimism fit for the future and one that represents the work we’ve done to be better, the work we still have to do, ” Ms Macleod said.
