Secondary schools play an important role in adolescent health.

Since 2017, four local health districts (including Hunter New England) have been supporting secondary schools to build physically active schools through a research trial called “Physical Activity 4 Everyone’ (PA4E1). 

An initial trial of PA4E1 found it to be effective and cost-effective. 

PA4E1 has now been scaled up for delivery in more schools.
