Programs for Students

• Student Leadership Program

The Student Leadership Program aims to create opportunities for senior primary students and their teachers to work together in their own school context to enhance the physical activity, physical education or out of hours sports programs in their schools. The students and teachers attend an initial workshop day, held in Term 2, where the program focuses on the meaning of effective leadership and strategies to implement student leadership at their own site. Later in the year, students produce a short video which demonstrates and celebrates how they have used their leadership skills to improve the physical literacy and outcomes in their school. To see previous videos submitted by schools, contact ACHPER SA for secure log in details.

• Physical Education Week

All schools are encouraged to wave the flag for Health & PE through Physical Education Week - Term 4, Week 5.

ACHPER SA will coordinate a Catholic Schools come and try day as part of Physical Education Week. Year 2 classes will be free for Catholic Schools. Places are limited - contact ACHPER SA with any queries.
