Parent’s Guide to School Sport Victoria

How SSV works with your school to provide sporting opportunities for every student.

School Sport Victoria (SSV) proudly develops young people through school sport. We actively support schools to maximise opportunities for all students to participate, grow, and succeed.

As part of the Department of Education, we proudly deliver on three strategic pillars:

Play: We enable students to participate in high-quality sport programs.
Value: We champion the immense value of school sport for health and well-being.
Connect: We link school and community sport to create lifelong pathways.

Our Strategy for the Future

Our clear 10-year strategy aims to engage more Victorian students in school sport. We are dedicated to creating more opportunities to participate and addressing future challenges head-on.

Following great progress in our first five years, we have a clear plan outlining our priorities for the future to ensure every student gets the chance to shine.

We deliver exciting school sport programs for primary and secondary students across Victoria. Our programs ensure that both mainstream and multiclass students have fair and equal opportunities to enjoy the benefits of sport.
Interschool Sport Programs
Students can represent their school in a wide variety of individual and team sports. We deliver these programs in close partnership with State Sporting Associations to provide safe, fun, and competitive environments.
Team Vic State Teams
Talented students can take their sport to the next level by representing the state of Victoria in a Team Vic team at the prestigious School Sport Australia Championships.
We keep our school sporting community inspired and informed by sharing:
- Upcoming opportunities to participate.
- Outstanding achievements to be celebrated.
- Stories of how sport engages and develops students and schools.

We collaborate with community, state, and elite sporting organisations to enhance our programs and extend our reach.
