The Good Village AIS Problem Solvers Program
The AIS is proud to partner with Nestle on The Good Village AIS Problem Solvers Program. This program offers an exciting opportunity for primary school students to undertake a project which encourages them to think creatively, while unpacking a challenge within Australian sport.
This FREE eight stage program is Australian school curriculum aligned and aims to teach students about what it takes to create a healthy, supportive and sustainable village of people. It weaves in lessons in science, humanities, arts and economics and gives students the chance to engage with an Australian athlete.
The program is available to all Australian primary schools and can be tailored for Grades 1-6. While the program is designed to be student-led, teachers will also have access to free resources including a comprehensive teaching guide.
For more information or to register your school, head to the program webpage The Good Village AIS Problem Solvers Program | Australian Institute of Sport.
