Schools Network
Connecting schools and sport
Sport and Recreation facilitates the Schools Network in the Northern Territory.
The Schools Network (formerly the Active Australia Schools Network) is a national network that provides information and support to schools that share an interest in sport and physical activity.
Nationally, more than 1100 schools, representing primary and secondary-aged students are already involved. Over 30% of Northern Territory Schools are members of the network.
Further information can be found on the Schools Network website.

The Schools Network Leadership Program offered by Sport and Recreation in the Northern Territory provides young people with basic skills and confidence to take a leadership role in sport and physical activity in the school environment. Participation in the program can be a foundation for ongoing involvement in sport and recreation in later life.
The program provides students with personal development and an introduction to the major areas of sport volunteerism – Administration, Sports First Aid, Coaching and Officiating.
