For KIDDO Program Director Amanda Derbyshire, the research and feedback is unequivocal.
“We know that KIDDO boosts teachers’ confidence and willingness to deliver high-quality PE and physical activity opportunities across the school day. This develops students’ physical literacy – their skills and confidence to be active. And now, thanks to Healthway support, we can extend to the upper years and provide access to schools across WA, including those in regional, remote and disadvantaged areas,” Ms Derbyshire said.
At the end of the day, it’s the fun KIDDO generates that gives Mr Prendergast the confidence that he’s on the right track.
“It’s the smiles on their faces and the fact they are constantly asking to play KIDDO games that shows they want to get out there and be active. That’s the ultimate sign of success for me,” he said.
