- Sporting Schools offers grant opportunities for primary schools, and targeted grant opportunities for secondary schools in relation to Years 7 and 8 students. Grants support the delivery of sport-based programs to help students build the confidence and capability to be active for life. Sporting Schools has partnered with more than 40 national sporting organisations including Judo Australia and national sporting organisations for people with disability to facilitate delivery of Sporting Schools programs. Although there has been no activity in this area for Budokan in the last year, since 2020 Budokan has provided 12 successful school Judo programs, so we are hoping that we can resume this activity for the club next year. If you have a relationship with a local primary school, please talk to the relevant staff about Judo programs under this scheme.
