How we work with High Schools
Secondary schools play an important role in adolescent health.
Commencing in late 2024 – early 2025 Good for Kids Schools (GFK@S) will be working alongside partners from every state and territory in Australia to support secondary schools across a number of health promotion programs:
 |
Supporting schools to implement active PE lessons, break time activities, Resistance Training 4 Teens, activity promoting policies and parent/community engagement.
|
|
|
|
 |
Supporting schools to adopt a physical activity-enabling school uniform policy to enhance students’ physical activity and wellbeing. |
|
|
|
 |
Supporting schools to identify the most effective strategies for implementing healthy canteen policies and programs. |
|

|
 |
Supporting schools to implement vaping prevention and cessation through curriculum resources, school environment and engagement with parents/community. |
|
|
|

Supporting schools to restrict mobile phone use to enhance physical activity, improve mental health, reduce bullying and increase student attention. |
How these programs can best be sustained long-term considering effectiveness and cost effectiveness is the focus.
