It can get harder to walk to school during winter. However, if we rug up it can be quite a fun season. As part of encouraging a healthy lifestyle, get your school involved in this event! Maybe you could get your school canteen and P&C to hold a healthy and warm breakfast. We hope to see your students remaining active this winter!

2019 marks the 35th Anniversary of Ausdance Act’s iconic and much loved Youth Dance Festival. This year’s theme ‘Generation NEXT’ explores ideas from the next generation of dancers and young artists coming through our Dance Fest stage doors.

Youth Dance Festival (affectionately known as Dance Fest) is a remarkable Canberra success story and has been proudly presented by Ausdance ACT since 1985. A long-term feature on the Canberra arts and education calendar, Dance Fest boasts a second generation of participants, a proud alumni and a strong legacy. Dance Fest is a non-competitive celebration of dance that embraces differences, creativity, team work and building relationships. Students are provided with a safe and supportive environment to be creative, self-express and partake in a rich artistic process. Entry is open to all Canberra region high schools and colleges.

Have you got your school entry in? Don’t miss out. Entry forms and guidelines available here!

League Tag is a great way for young girls to enjoy the fun of Rugby League without the physical contact. This modified version of the sport is fun and easy to play, as well as being a great opportunity to give it a try in a safe environment.
