Abstract
The purpose of this project was to enhance the physical activity, health and well-being of the local school community by providing support and enrichment to educators, both present and future, in planning and implementing physical activity as part of an integrated approach to curriculum delivery in teaching and learning in schools. The methodology included consulting with and collecting data from organisations responsible for physical activity, health and well-being within the Fraser Coast community. These were then used to up-skill fourth year education students within the Education Faculty at the University of Southern Queensland(USQ), who were then scaffolded to develop integrated units of work within the Studies of Society and Environment Curriculum(SOSE), in which physical activity was embedded within the fabric of the unit. A community website was then constructed, and student work was showcased to the wider education association within Fraser Coast.
