Schoolaerobics is the largest inter-school sport aerobics competition for primary and secondary school students throughout Australia. The program aims to provide an avenue for students to improve their fitness, confidence, health and self-esteem through participation in a healthy and fun competition.
As part of the WHS Schoolaerobics program students will compete in two competitions. These are:
- State Preliminary Finals – Geelong
- State Finals/Wildcard entry – Geelong
Teams who perform well in the State finals are invited to attend the National competition. Students also have the opportunity to take part in the optional Spring Challenge.
Williamstown High School has been successful in a number of these competitions over the last 3 years. Some have even been lucky enough to progress through to the National level of competition.
