In term 3 2027, the department will begin the staged rollout of free before and after school activities for public primary school students.

From 2030 every public primary school student in South Australia will have the opportunity to participate in 1 term of organised activities before and after school, free of charge, every year.

Activities will include sport, arts, cultural activities and more.

We're consulting with educators and activity providers to design a pilot. It will start during term 3, 2027 and inform the full program rollout.

We'll provide more details about the pilot in 2027, including:

• the pilot locations
• types of activities on offer
• duty of care responsibilities.
