(3) All school boards will report on progress towards implementation of the policy in their annual reports. My department will survey schools in 1997 to ascertain progress towards implementation.

In 1998 a comprehensive review of the process of implementation will be undertaken. The review will include a survey of the views of parents, students and teachers on the impact of the plan.

(4) The question of the impact of the policy on sport outside of school hours will be addressed in the evaluation planned for 1998. The government will consider 1997 to be the first full year of implementation of the physical education and sport plan, due to the effect of the teachers' industrial bans in 1996.

The Department of Education and Training has worked closely with community sporting organisations in the ACT to develop and implement plans in school sport. The response from community sporting organisations to those plans has been very positive.
