Teachers gathered at the Stuart High School campus to participate in the 'South Australian Health, Be Active Primary School Project'.

The program is aimed to promote active and healthy living through physical education, and provides teachers with new ways to teach physical education.

Nicolson Avenue Primary School teacher Nick Warren said the program was a good idea and will certainly benefit teachers and students.

"Basically, today we are the students, we are getting taught how to be better teachers," Mr Warren said.

"We are learning new ways to approach teaching PE and how to make the kids want to learn in a positive way."

All teachers in attendance participated in different physical activities and sport to get a practical feel for the new way that they would be teaching.

One of the main aspects the program hopes to target is getting kids who don't like to participate in sport involved.

"This program teaches us how to positively get kids involved in sports and other activities," Samaritan College, Toal Street campus teacher Kay Baker said.

"Our role as teachers is to teach and coach kids to be skillful and knowledgable in all possible areas of their lives."

The program didn't only focus on sport and physical education, but also in self esteem issues and positively encouraging a student to perform to the best of their ability.
