Steptember is Australia's favourite, and most inclusive virtual challenge. Step4Schools was created to promote diversity and inclusivity, build a culture of empathy in schools and encourage students to celebrate their differences. 

Classrooms are encouraged to join Step4Schools Day - 4 September 2025 and move their own way to 10,000 steps - walk, swim, dance, wheel, run ... any way you like - and fundraise to support people with cerebral palsy. 

Thursday, 4 September 2025

Step4Schools Day provides a wonderful opportunity for students to learn, engage, and celebrate.

The following activities can create a supportive environment where students develop new friendships, gain a deeper understanding of disabilities, and embrace the beauty of diversity.​

We've got some ideas to get you started:

• Promote walking or riding to school to kick off the day

• Mufti Day in fun colours + a gold coin donation

• Special Morning Assembly - using the PowerPoint provided in resources

• Self-Portrait Activity - A fun class-room activity where students are asked to draw a picture of themselves and include elements of their life that they think make them unique.

• Communicate with your Community - use this email template

• Create a fun event, like a bake sale where funds raised go towards your fundraising target

• Share your fundraising link in a school newsletter with pictures of the kids moving and share why you're supporting Step4Schools
  

• Check out our free resources

Step4Schools is made to be as easy as possible! Joining up is made for the adults - parents, guardians, teachers and community members.

Simply join an existing school or create a new one here.

The kids can receive updates, news and check their school's progress with a trusted adult.
