Adelaide United & Flinders University School Curriculum

United in Schools has been designed to achieve the outcomes outlined in the Game On Getting South Australian moving report. A program designed to increase participants physical literacy skills and mental wellbeing while also creating lifelong physical activity and habits will all be achieved in the United in Schools program. The benefit of children meeting physical activity (PA) guidelines may also extend beyond improvements to their physical health (Lubans et al., 2016). Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a multidimensional concept that incorporates the constructs of physical health as well as psychological and social health, providing a holistic indicator of an individual’s overall health (Wallander and Koot,2016, Motamed-Gorji et al., 2019). While current school-based PA programs typically address the physical benefits of increased PA, less emphasis has been placed on the possible benefits of such programs on children’s HRQoL. The content provides opportunities for students to contribute to building a positive school environment that supports healthy, safe and active choices for everyone. Students also explore a range of factors and behaviours that can influence health, safety and wellbeing. Delivered over 5 weeks & 20 lessons, the program has two core focuses. The program designed in such a way to meet curriculum requirements and can be delivered in numerous lessons (PE, Pastoral Care, Health ect).
