A unique opportunity to 'PLAY'

How active is schoolyard play?
How different is the play of boys and girls?
Who are the children who play the least and how different is their play?
What do teachers think about children’s play in the schoolyard?

Are these questions that interest you?

We are offering a unique opportunity for you to become involved with a recognised research team interested in children's play.


Who can take part? We have opportunities for both undergraduate and postgraduate students to become active members of this research team.

Will training be provided? Yes! And it’s FREE. Learn how to measure activity levels, children’s coping and social skills, build your skills in data collection and data analysis. All training will occur (April - June). Data collection on school playgrounds will occur during school terms 3 and 4 (July - December).

What’s in it for you? Apart from FREE training! We recognise that building a skills portfolio can sometimes be difficult. You will have the opportunity to apply learnt skills to a ‘real life’ project and to work alongside recognised experts. This is an experience you can list on your CV!

How many hours? For only a few hours a week you can have fun taking part in this exciting and very worthwhile project. Contact us to negotiate a schedule that works for you.

Where? Sydney Metro area
