The Challenge

What is the Challenge?

The Premier’s be active Challenge is a physical activity program introduced by the Premier in 2007 to:

Encourage students to be more active more often
Improve the health and wellbeing of South Australian students.

The Challenge requires students to do at least 60 minutes of physical activity on at least 5 days of the week for at least 4 weeks between the beginning of the school year and late September.

After 4 weeks of daily physical activity, students will be rewarded with a medal. After 10 weeks of daily physical activity, schools are in the running to win $1000 to promote physical activity.
