Remote Sporting Schools

About the program

Objectives

  • Trial different ways of delivering quality sport experiences for students in remote areas.
  • Provide opportunities to improve the skills and knowledge of senior students, community members and teachers to engage in and deliver sport experiences.
  • Support educational outcomes for students, including school attendance, through sport experiences.
  • Help us understand the barriers schools in remote areas experience when using Sporting Schools primary and secondary school grants.

How to use the grant

Here are some examples of how you can use your grant:

Take advantage of your environment
Embrace your surroundings by offering non-traditional sports and physical activities tailored to student interests and the local environment. From skateboarding and fishing to horse riding, schools can deliver engaging experiences that resonate with students and utilise local resources effectively.

Combine with other schools to run multi-sport gala days
Schools can pool their grants together, to organise multi-sport gala days, centralising sports sessions in a larger town and serving multiple schools.

No deliverer, no worries!
The grant can be used for self-delivered sports programs with over 30 sports available.

Intensive delivery and upskilling of communities
In very remote areas like islands and outback locations, schools can utilise their grants to cover travel and accommodation costs for deliverers.
