Putting physical activity back on the agenda
Smart Moves >
iAIM >
Mandated time for physical activity i.e. 30 minutes a day
No mandate. Flexibility for schools to determine required time for physical activity.
Physical activity was predominantly done outside
Focus on physical activity inside and outside the classroom
Focus on tackling childhood obesity and students’ health and wellbeing
Focus on improving student outcomes i.e. cognitive, academic, attendance, health and wellbeing; as well as other priority areas e.g. PACE, school ethos/culture etc.
Accountability through annual reporting protocols
Expectation from Regional Director that schools will get involved.
Increased access to professional development and resources
iAIM toolkit, resources, support, communications, network, PD in 2015.
Generic approach to implementing physical activity programs across Queensland schools.
Localised approaches for DDSW schools including pilots, showcasing of good practice.
There were many positives from Smart Moves but iAIM picks up on the recommendations made i.e. no mandate/greater flexibility for schools; wider focus i.e. student outcomes and other educational priorities; regional expectation; refreshed resources; localised approaches.
