Disability and inclusion

Opportunities for students with disabilities to get involved in sports are available at various levels throughout the school sport structure, from participation to elite. The participatory (or provisional) level does not require classification, however, if an athlete wishes to compete at a regional, state, national or international level, they will need to gain classification through the appropriate sporting organisation.

Classroom energisers

What are classroom energisers?

Classroom energisers are short bursts of physical activities in the classroom that cause students to 'huff and puff' for 5 to 10 minutes.

Classroom energisers can help to:

break up sitting time
transition from one lesson to another and refocus students
get students active who may ordinarily shy away from physical activity
support schools in providing students with 150 minutes of structured physical activity across the school week as outlined in the Sport and Physical Activity Policy
integrate physical activity into other key learning areas.

Schools can use the resources on this page to implement classroom energisers into their daily school routine.

Classroom energiser task cards

10@10 episodes

The 10@10 episodes have been designed to support schools in including classroom energisers in their daily teaching and learning. Each episode is 10 minutes in duration and students are led by School Sport Unit teachers in a high intensity workout based on an Australian sporting theme.
