Increasing physical activity in the classroom
The VCAA has supported the development of
Transform-Us!, a novel approach to increasing children’s physical activity levels and learning outcomes.
Transform-Us! is available to all Victorian primary schools and teachers and uses innovative strategies within the classroom, school and home settings to get students moving more and sitting less.
Transform-Us! involves incorporating movement into everyday class lessons so that the delivery of the lesson changes, not the content. It is a simple and easy program that can improve children’s classroom behaviours, academic outcomes, physical activity and their health.
