Frequently Asked Questions
Do all T-2 teachers at my school need to participate?
We would encourage all the T-2 teachers in each school to participate, however, if for example, you have only the Transition teachers interested in this program, this is sufficient to still apply.
Term 3 is busy - can we participate at a later date?
The funding for support in this program has only provided us with funds to run this supported program until December 2024 (however the KIDDO membership will continue through 2026). This fully funded and supported program is a one-off opportunity!
I am the school PE teacher, why do the classroom teachers need to participate?
With most students in Transition – Year 2 only receiving a maximum of one 45-minute PE lesson a week, it is essential classroom teachers also have the skills, confidence, and resources to help encourage the development of Fundamental Movement Skills in their students. Whether this is part of morning fitness, 3 x 5/10-minute daily brain breaks, or a 20-minute session three times a week it adds value to the work being done in the PE program. Additionally, if the early childhood teachers are responsible for their own Fundamental Movement Skill Programs, this is an ideal opportunity to provide additional resources to assist them with their programming and delivery.
If we want to continue our KIDDO membership after the 2-year membership has expired, what will be the ongoing cost for our school?
The cost of a 12-month KIDDO membership is $499 + $2 per child in K – 2. For example, if you have 250 students in T – 2, your fee for your 12-month membership would be $999.
