Hi-5 has joined the Commonwealth Government’s high profile team of Healthy Active Ambassadors to encourage children and their parents to eat well and have fun together.

Hi-5’s Charli, Kellie, Tim, Nathan and Sun join Harry Kewell, Brett Lee, Michael Clarke, Luke Mangan, Cathy Freeman and Kieran Perkins as Healthy Active Ambassadors.

Hi-5 is already great role models to thousands of young Australians. Healthy lifestyle messages are part of the group’s performances.

“We’re proud and excited to be asked by the Commonwealth Government to be Healthy Active Ambassadors,” Charli said.

“We love to be active, we sing and dance and jump around all the time,” Kellie said. “We also love to talk about healthy food, especially fruit and vegetables.”

“This program is a perfect fit with Hi-5’s view of the world – that our kids are precious and we need to ensure we do all we can to help them grow up to be healthy and happy,” Nathan said.

“And the Healthy Active Ambassador program is such a wonderful way to encourage and educate kids,” Sun said.

“We try to inspire children to develop their own potential and take a joyous and active part in life,” Tim said.

The Healthy Active Ambassador program is an initiative of the Commonwealth Government targeting all Australians, with a particular focus on our youth. Ambassadors attend key youth events to promote the importance of a healthy lifestyle, getting active and making smart food choices.
