Premier Active April Challenge 2020

The Premier’s Active April program is an annual Victorian Government project that promotes a healthy and active lifestyle and to provides opportunities to increase physical activity.

The Australian Girl Program has a ‘physical’ element that encourages being active, healthy and strong and participating in activities. There are many things that we can all be doing to incorporate 30 minutes of physical activity into each day. This is especially important during this difficult period when schools and Guiding meetings have been suspended.

Just register as a participant, then log your hours of physical activity.  Easy.

There are prizes and benefits for participants, although some of these may no longer be available with the current Ballarat closures.
