Classroom physical activity engagement driver kits

As part of the funding to increase Physical Literacy outcomes at school we have purchased equipment for our classroom teachers to use to support physical activity snacks for the students through out the week. Our staff have been nothing short of incredible at getting the students out to move more. These kits will support that.

Silent ball in the classroom is a winner across the 3s and 4s. The 5s and 6s love to get outside for Basketball, Soccer and Gaga ball.

The students also have access to a large abundance of sports equipment for lunch time and recess. It's great to see so many yard games taking place through equipment.

The areas we are focusing on to increase engagement towards physical activity are:

Quality Physical Education
