Thanks to everyone who provided feedback recently regarding your schools intention to participate, however unfortunately the Dance Event and associated Professional Learning has been cancelled for 2022 as it is simply not viable.

If anyone would like assistance or advice about teaching the dances or running an in school event this year please contact Steve Ray: stray099@gmail.com or 0408 752 450.

We are offering Move Well Eat Well schools the opportunity to participate in the TransformUs pilot project in Tasmania free to your school(s).  

Once you have registered, gained permission from your Principal and been accepted into the trial, your school will receive a support package worth up to $3,000 which can be used in program implementation. For example, funds can be used to purchase physical activity equipment for classrooms, standing desks and/or playground line markings.  During this pilot we will be working with partners at the Menzies Institute for Medical Research to gather information on your thoughts about the program. We know your time is valuable and will be keeping this to a minimum. You can choose not to participate in the research, and it will not affect your place in the trail.
