Staff vs Students | Pav-Fit
For the past three years, EMS has engaged well over 100 students across two campuses of the Pavilion School through the Pav-Fit program. The Pavilion School serves young people who’ve been excluded from mainstream education. Together, our work with the Pav-Fit program creates a safe, open and supportive space where students can express themselves, challenge their own capacity and resiliency, and encourage their peers.

On Thursday, June 13th our community tier group from the Pavilion school visited Melbourne Muscular Therapies HQ in Ferntree Gully as part of am educational excursion for better health outcomes.

Empowering ‘Young Leaders’ with SWISSE & MITS
Last year, Essential Movement Systems teamed up with SWISSE to deliver the Young Leaders Program to Year 8s at Melbourne Indigenous Transition School (MITS). This pair-up provided four students (and their PE teacher Jayden) with the exciting opportunity to join Essential Movement Systems at three primary schools running the Bluearth Active Schools Program to lead a session in the role of coach.
Exploring the Essential Movement Approach
The Essential Movement Approach uses physical activity as the vehicle to move and improve participants physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Instead of movement being something participants do, it’s something they experience - creating opportunities to learn, grow and develop through mindful movement that puts emphasis on the whole person.
