We’re calling on all early childhood education teachers and educators to take part in the Victorian Teachers’ Games (VTG) when it returns to Latrobe City from Sunday 22 September to Wednesday 25 September 2024, with registrations now open.
The VTG is a major event on the education calendar, and you’re warmly invited to join the fun.
The multi-day, multi-sport games provide an opportunity to participate in and connect through a range of sporting, recreation, wellness, and social events – it’s a great way to get those competitive juices flowing, while meeting some of your education colleagues!
Last year’s event saw more than 1,150 competitors striding heroically across the fields of glory, as they took part in 36 different events across Latrobe City.
As always, the event proved a big hit with the gathered throng, with 96% of surveyed participants saying the event benefited their personal health and wellbeing.
To help grow awareness and participation of the event, we are looking for workplace coordinators to assist, promote and encourage their colleagues to attend. You can sign up here to express your interest.
We’re looking for even more people to take part, so check out all the information on the events with registrations now open through the VTG website. The games are scheduled to occur during school holidays, and we understand that some educators may need to apply for leave to attend the games. In this instance, please talk to your workforce manager.
About the VTG
While the sporting activities are the primary focus, the social, wellness and educational aspects are equally important.
The games also provide an opportunity to travel outside your region and meet fellow educators from across the state.
It’s a great way to teach participants the value of sport competition, participation and the health and wellbeing benefits of being active.
The VTG is hosted in regional cities on a 2-year cycle, with Latrobe City hosting VTG again in this year after hosting in 2023.
