BEVERFORD District Primary School has scored a $34,000 grant to kick-start the Active Schools initiative.
Member for Northern Victoria Mark Gepp announced that the school was among 96 schools to receive an Active Schools grant this year.
It’s part of the State Government’s $45.4 million initiative to give Victorian children the skills, confidence and motivation to be active for life.
As part of the Active Schools initiative, the government earlier this year launched Get Your Move On, a campaign encouraging young people aged five to 18 years to get 15 minutes of physical activity, four times a day.
“We’re thrilled to celebrate Active Schools funding recipients – I want to congratulate all the successful schools across my electorate for their work to keep young Victorians active, fit and healthy,” Mr Gepp said.
