IMPORTANT: START TO 2022

The Challenge will run as usual, commencing on 31 January 2022.

However, in order to support staff, we will keep correspondence to a minimum in the first few weeks as schools face a particularly busy start to the year. 

You can expect to receive a welcome email, letter from the Premier, posters and other materials after week 3.

Good luck with 2022 and enjoy the Premier’s be active Challenge.
