Active School Curriculum
As part of the new conditions of funding under the Australian Government's school funding legislation for 2005-2008, each State and Territory government and non-government education authority is required to include in their curriculum at least two hours of physical activity each school week for primary and junior secondary school children. The legislation came into effect on 1 January 2005. This initiative is managed by the Department of Education, Science and Training.Email enquiries - drugeducationprogramme@dest.gov.au
