Healthy Heroes Points System

The goal is to meet the five challenges, five days a week.  Track your achievement:

  • You can earn five points per day (one point per day per challenge).
  • You can use weekends to make up for any challenges you didn’t quite meet during the week.
  • This means the goal is to score 25 points during the week.
  • Your school will decide how many weeks the programme will run which can be between five and nine weeks.
  • If you are extra awesome and meet your challenges more than five days a week, you could score up to 35 points per week (five points x seven days).
