The Active After-school Communities program is a national initiative that provides primary school-aged children with access to free, sport and other structured physical activity programs in the after-school time slot of 3.00pm to 5.30pm. The program aims to engage traditionally inactive children in sport and other structured physical activities, and through a positive and fun experience, develop a love of sport that inspires them to join a local sporting club.

Activebods is dedicated to providing schools, sporting clubs, coaches and teachers with a comprehensive and easy-to-implement range of beneficial physical activity programs that will ensure energy levels soar right until the cool down of each lesson. Lessons incorporate physical activity as well as nutrition and link to exciting event opportunities which address education learning outcomes.

AFL Sport Education

AFL Sport Education is a curriculum model based on the Sport Education Program (SEPEP).  It is based around a student centred learning approach where students coordinate and manage a season of sport which exhibits parallels with community sport.  Students assume the responsibility and ownership of taking on roles (other than that of the player) such as coach, umpire committee member or publicity officer.

The School Manual is for P-7 and is an inclusive, circuit based program. Equipment kits have been developed to support this resource. Visit the Kids Sports website for more information.

School teachers can access over 100 Rugby-themed, cross-curriculum resources including lesson plans, interactive games and word puzzles as part of the EdRugby for the classroom program.
