Premier's be active Challenge 

Pilgrim School will be running the Premier’s be active Challenge in 2025. The Premier’s be active Challenge is a physical activity program introduced by the Premier in 2007 to:

  • encourage students to be more active more often 
  • improve the health and wellbeing of South Australian students.

Guidelines to complete the Premier’s be active Challenge: 

  1. Every student must have their activity recorded in the student recording booklet. These will be distributed by the school once a permission form has been returned. 
  2. Complete at least 60 minutes of physical activity on at least 5 days of the week for at least 4 weeks between Week 1, Term 1 and Week 10 Term 3 and record it. 
  3. Students must have their record verified by a parent, caregiver or teacher. 
  4. Pass on the completed Student Record to the Front Office by the designated due date. 
  5. Receive an award in late November. 

Research has shown that parental support makes a difference to how active children are. One of the biggest factors in helping children to be active is providing support to participate in physical activity. Whether that is getting them to sports, taking them to the playground, riding your bike with them or simply encouraging them outside to play, these are all things that will help your child to be active. 

 

The Premier’s be active Challenge is most successful when parents show interest and support their children. Help your child get 60 minutes of physical activity per day and you will be making a positive difference to their future. It’s also a great way to be more active yourself!

 

If you would like your child/children to participate in the Premier’s be active Challenge, please return the reply slip by the end of Term 1 (Thursday 10th April) to receive a recording booklet.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school.

 

Kind regards,
