Informal Sport: Developing lifelong learners (CANCELLED)
About
The School of Education is delighted to invite you to a Twilight Seminar - Informal Sport: Developing lifelong learners and participants in schools and communities presented by Professor Dawn Penney.
Informal sport – offering people the flexibility to play sport their way, at low or no cost, with friends, family and community – is a major area of growth for sport participation in Australia and internationally. It also delivers important health and social benefits for individuals and the communities they are a part of.
The popularity of informal sport presents a challenge and opportunity for schools - to support their students and community members to develop the skills and confidence to be lifelong learners and participants in sport, and contributors to healthy active communities.
Professor Dawn Penney, from the Sport, Health and Education Research Community at Edith Cowan University, will introduce learning for informal sports as a fresh focus for Health and Physical Education (HPE) and whole-school approaches to promote physical activity, sport and wellbeing. Findings from a multi-institution Australian Research Council research project provide the stimulus for examining why and how to put informal sports at the centre of the curriculum and extra-curricula provision of physical activity and sport in schools.
The seminar is relevant for Health and Physical Education or sports specialists, generalist primary teachers, school principals, community sports leaders and coaches working with schools and young people.
Registrations and light refreshments will be from 3:30pm in the Building 6 foyer.
Certificate of participation available on request.
