Welcome to the 2010 Premier’s be active Challenge - the year of the Champion Medal.

During the past three years over 43 000 students have participated in the Premier’s be active Challenge, and these students are now on their way to earning Champion Medals.

To promote the benefits of an active lifestyle, I encourage you to join in with the Challenge in 2010.

Our ambassadors will continue to visit schools and motivate young people throughout South Australia to be more active more often. School visits from individual ambassadors or clinics from Adelaide United Football Club or the Link Lightning Adelaide can help to celebrate your schools’ achievements and inspire students to continue being physically active.

The Challenge is open to all Reception to Year 9 students and caters for young people of all abilities. So I encourage you to “Get out and play, 60 minutes a day,” join in with the Premier’s be active Challenge and be active in 2010.
