Who can access a Connecting Schools Grant?
Connecting Schools Grants are easy to access and available to any school or educational facility for children in Western Australia.
To be eligible for a Connecting Schools Grant, schools must be engaged in Your Move Schools and promoting active transport to and from school, have completed a Start of Year Hands up Survey or complete one as soon as the school signs up and reach a Your Move accreditation level of Silver or higher.
What types of Connecting Schools Grants are available in 2022
There are four types of grants (small, medium, large and major) available as part of the program. These are linked to the level of accreditation your school achieves.
For example, if your school has reached silver accreditation this will unlock a small grant valued at up to $799. If your school has reached double platinum accreditation, your school could apply for a small, medium, large or major grant, if available.
It is important to note, the number of grants are limited at all levels. Only one Connecting Schools grant will be available to each school per financial year.
Small, medium and large grants will be available on a ‘first in – first served’ basis, and schools can access the grants through the Your Move Rewards Shop.
Major grants require a written application. Please refer to the 2022-23 Connecting Schools Grants Guidelines for all details on how to apply.
Once all grants at a level have been unlocked (claimed), they will no longer display in the Reward Shop. If a school misses out on the highest funding option, they are eligible to claim, it is recommended the school unlocks the next highest funding package available.
Remember Connecting Schools Grants are run annually, so if you miss out this year you will have another opportunity next year. In the meantime, don’t forget you can use points to redeem Reward Shop items to help your school deliver the Your Move program.

When will Connecting Schools Grants be available?
Schools can apply for a small, medium or large grant from 8:00am, Thursday 25 August to 5:00pm, Friday 30 December 2022.
If all grant packages are unlocked before 5:00pm, 30 December the grants redemption period will be closed early.
For major grants the application period opens at 8:00am, Wednesday 3 August and closes at 4:00pm, Wednesday 17 August 2022.
How do eligible Schools apply for a Standard Grant?
Connecting Schools Grants (small, medium and large) can be claimed through the Rewards Shop on the Your Move website.
Major grants require a formal application (refer to 'How to apply for a Major Grant' section below for more information).
Applying for a Connecting Schools Grant will not affect your school’s redeemable points balance.
Schools who successfully secure a grant will be required to participate in a ‘kick off’ meeting with a Your Move Officer prior to project implementation to discuss:
- how the school wishes for the grant to be used; and
- the requirements of the Deed and acquittal process.
Once the meeting has occurred, the school will be required to return the Connecting Schools Deed signed by both the Principal and nominated school contact.
‘Place making initiative’ grants require schools to complete and submit an additional place making initiative application form.
How schools apply for a Major Grant has changed in 2022
In 2022, the process for applying for major grant packages has changed and is no longer be redeemed through the Your Move online Rewards Shop.
This is to ensure major Connecting Schools Grants are administered in a fair and equitable way and are in accordance with current WA government guidelines for grant administration.
The new formal application process only applies to major grants valued from $7,500 - $15,000 for the 2022/23 Connecting Schools Grants round.
For information on how to apply for a Major grant please refer to the 2022-23 Connecting Schools Grant Guidelines.
