RSC Update - Term 1, Week 5

Funds must be spent this term if your school received Sporting Schools Funding for Term 1 this year! 

Schools are encouraged to undertake teacher delivered programs if possible to reduce the need for having external coaches on site.

Explore all Teacher Delivered Packages available by scrolling down to veiw the table at the bootom of the Sporting Schools ‘Who can deliver’ web page. 

Remember, schools must deliver a minimum of four x 45-60min sessions, so there is still time to deliver a program and expend your funds before the end of Term 1. 

If you require additional ideas or have any queries please don't hesitate to contact the Regional Sport Coordinator team for support -  regional.sport.coordinator@education.tas.gov.au
