AIA Australia is proud to announce the return of the AIA Healthiest Schools program for its third year. This initiative provides schools with free, curriculum-aligned resources designed to inspire students aged 5-16 to adopt healthier habits and lead "Healthier, Longer, Better Lives."
 
As organisations committed to supporting community wellbeing and sustainability, corporates and super funds can play a vital role in promoting this impactful program. By encouraging schools within your networks to participate, you're helping foster healthier lifestyles for the next generation while supporting schools’ access to valuable resources and funding opportunities.
 
The program focuses on four key pillars:
 
  • Healthy Eating
  • Active Lifestyles
  • Mental Wellbeing
  • Environmental Sustainability
These themes align with broader ESG objectives, making participation a meaningful way to contribute to community health and wellbeing.

Program highlights

Schools that register gain access to engaging resources that integrate seamlessly into teaching plans. The program also includes an optional competition where schools can showcase their health initiatives for a chance to win a share of a $150,000 prize pool, with individual prizes of up to $25,000.
 
This year, AIA Ambassadors Daisy Pearce, Jy Simpkin, and Marika Day will host Virtual Classroom sessions, adding an exciting element to the program.

How you can support

Corporates and super funds can support the initiative by:
 
  • Promoting the program through employee networks, particularly among parents or educators.
  • Partnering with AIA to amplify awareness within local communities.
  • Sharing information about the competition with schools in your network.
 
By championing this program, your organisation can strengthen its ties to the community while contributing to long-term health outcomes for Australian students.
 
Registrations are open throughout Term 1 (2025). For more information or to register, visit:
