Objectives of PALs

• Develop the leadership skills and confidence of senior students
• Increased quantity and quality of play, physical activity and sporting experiences across the school

How PALs Works

• Senior students (Years 5-8), are chosen by their school to attend a PALs workshop
• Alongside teachers, these students (PALs) create a plan for how they will implement the programme
• PALs start delivering the programme to their peers at school with the support of teachers
• The programme is adapted based on the specific needs and experiences of each school
