The Premier's Primary School Sporting Challenge aims to engage young people in sport and physical activity and encourages them to lead healthy, active lifestyles. The Challenge involves primary school classes participating in a 19 week sport and physical activity challenge. A class may accumulate time spent in a broad range of sports and recreational pursuits during lunchtime, in school sport programs, class time, after school or weekend physical activity.
Here at Tyalla we are encouraging students to participate in a variety of sports at both recess and lunch breaks. Stage 3 students are helping teachers organise a range of activitites. Students can choose from AFL, football, cricket, skipping, athletics, hooping, oz tag, dancing and newcomb ball.
Schools have a nineteen week time frame to complete the 10 weeks of physical activity required to meet the challenge. In order to achieve a Premier's Bronze, Silver, Gold or Diamond Award, classes and individual members must accrue 30mins, 45mins, 60mins or 80mins spent participating in sport and physical activity.
The staff and students at Tyalla recognise the importance of children remaining active and participate in this challenge annually. We look forward to seeing our results in 2014.
