Sporting Schools is a $320 million Australian Government initiative designed to help schools increase children's participation in sport and connect them with community sport 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, Sport Australia has partnered with the National Rugby League to deliver fun, safe and inclusive programs to students around Australia. Each term, schools can apply for funding to have professionally delivered, non-contact Rugby League programs at your school.
This includes an assessment checklist linked to the movement and physical activity content descriptions. These tools are designed to help teachers assess student learning throughout the units and maintain records for student reporting.
