Active Bands® Program Information for Schools
Designed, developed, and operated by Australian Athletics, Active Bands® is an exciting and fun platform that encourages children to be more physically active, more often. Active Bands® unites the digital and physical worlds with a clever mix of science and technology to enhance your school's activity program - including Sporting Schools. Many schools and thousands of Aussie kids Australia-wide are involved, with more joining every day.
How It Works
Each student will receive a free wristband that connects to the Active Bands® mobile app developed by Athletics Australia. The platform then rewards children, unlocking incentives as movement milestones are met.
Why Work Together?
Only 19% of Australian children aged 5 to 17 are meeting the recommended guidelines of 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity a day. Australian Athletics, through Active Bands®, is taking a lead role in influencing and assisting Aussie kids to be more physically active. If you share this vision with us, we would love to work with you to achieve a real and measurable difference. It can easily integrate into your physical education programs and support efforts to increase physical literacy levels across the school community.
