Active Schools for Better Learning

Active Schools Program

Bluearth is passionate about addressing the alarming trends of sedentary living in children across Australia. The Active Schools Program stems from this passion, as well as our research which shows that kids who move more throughout the school day improve in key critical areas of development.

Face-to-face Delivery in your School

We believe in thinking differently so approach physical activity in a way that goes beyond traditional sport and education models. We care less about competition, and more about positive participation that develops the skills, motivation and behaviours required for adopting and maintaining active living habits.

Each session includes movement challenges, games, and opportunities for reflection which promotes mindfulness and connection.

All sessions utilise the Six Elements of the Bluearth Approach:

  • Coordination and Agility
  • Core Movements
  • Dynamic Movement
  • Movement Challenges and Games
  • Moving in the Environment
  • Skill Activities

How the Active Schools Program Works

  • Bluearth sends in-person coaches to schools to deliver the program
  • It is inclusive of 18 full days of coaching on a fortnightly basis
  • The program is delivered within the school timetable
  • Five classes are run each day

Professional Development Opportunities

Bluearth brings a ‘whole-school’ resource to schools, including online activities, worksheets and over 30 hours of pre-recorded, coach-led sessions for the school to continue when a Bluearth coach is not present. Additionally, teachers receive professional training so that they can confidently deliver the Bluearth Approach on these alternate weeks, thus becoming Bluearth Champions.

Other Teacher Resources:

  • Online workshops and webinars
  • Web-based resources

Note: For remote schools outside of the Bluearth catchment, we can deliver the program without coaches being physically present.

Additional Offerings

Bluearth will host movement and mindful sessions for the entire school staff.

We are growing an Ambassador program and will arrange for one of our Ambassadors to speak to your students.

The Bluearth Active School Program unites students, teachers, and the wider community through movement.

Cost

  • 12-month program $13,530.00
  • 6-month program $6,765.00

Kids who move more, learn better. Our research shows that kids who move more throughout the school day show improvement in key critical areas of development.

Active Schools Infographic

Bluearth has given our students far more than a physical education program. Our students have grown in their confidence, their ability to include others and learn that physical activity is much more than just winning – it’s how we participate and have fun.
