The Fun to Move@JC Project, a collaborative effort between The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and The Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute launched in 2017, is reaching its conclusion in September 2023.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and participation in our project activities throughout the past six years. The educational materials and resources, as well as our past event highlights are still available online to you at our Project website and the YouTube Channel (Fun to Move at JC). We look forward to joining hands with schools and families again to helping children develop a habit of doing exercise regularly through Quality Physical Education and, eventually, a healthy society.

Fun to Move@JC, with a funding support of $97 million from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, aimed at enhancing children's physical literacy by helping them develop the skills, confidence and passion of movement needed to be physically active for life. Launched in 2017, this Trust-initiated project was a collaborative effort amongst The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and The Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute. Over the past six years, the team created an effective, comprehensive, and sustainable sports and physical activity model that could then be shared and widely adopted by all primary schools in Hong Kong. Resting on the three key pillars, namely, the provision of quality physical education, enhancements to home-school cooperation, and the application of information technology, the Project successfully implemented evidence-based practices at schools through the leadership of principals in fostering school and family engagement. Big data analytics and innovative tools were also developed to enhance teaching and learning in PE through objective measurement of the quality (i.e., Fundamental Movement Skill Rater) and quantity (i.e., Sport Band) of students’ physical activities, in an efficient and systematic way.

In this case study booklet, details about how these strategies and ideas were translated into impactful real-life activities and innovations to lead changes in behaviours and mindsets of students, parents and teachers are documented. Success stories from six project schools are also highlighted. We hope this publication serves as a useful guide to inform and inspire policymakers, educators, parents, and future research efforts in the realm of physical literacy.

Each participating student and one of his/her parents, as well as each school staff will be given a Sport Band to record their daily physical activity. Developed by the “Fun to Move@JC” project, the Sport Band has functions including step counting, time display and automatic data transfer. Users can easily view their activity data using the mobile or web applications. These include their step counts, time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, active calories burned, Body Mass Index (BMI) and “Fun to Move index”.
