Sporting Schools
Sporting Schools is an Australian Government initiative designed to help schools to increase children's participation in sport, and to connect them with community sporting opportunities.
Sporting Schools programs are provided free to children and their families to help students build the confidence and capability to be active for life. To help achieve this, the Australian Sports Commission has partnered with more than 40 national sporting organisations (NSOs) and national sporting organisations for people with disability (NSODs). Sporting Schools programs support primary schools broadly, while targeted programs focus on Year 7/8 secondary students and all students attending remote and very remote schools.
