Transform-Us! to make moving the norm throughout the day at Victorian primary schools

Victorian primary school principals and teachers are now able to register and have free access to online training, video clips demonstrating the activities and a suite of Transform-Us! resources.

"Transform-Us! is a great initiative and will help schools meet the Education State target of a 20 per cent increase of students doing physical activity for an hour a day, five times a week, by 2025."

"Transform-Us! is a great initiative and will help schools meet the Education State target of a 20 per cent increase of students doing physical activity for an hour a day, five times a week, by 2025."

The Hon. James Merlino
Deputy Premier, Minister for Education

"Currently around one in five children aged 5-17 years in Australia meet the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity every day. These statistics show that we really need to target children’s physical activity and sedentary behaviours both at school and at home. Transform-Us! takes advantage of opportunities to incorporate movement and reduce sitting throughout the school day.”
