‘Wiggle’ visit on offer

SOCCEROOS goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne has teamed up with renowned fitness trainer Michelle Bridges to support youth wellbeing charity Kulture Break’s Unstoppable 24 Schools Movement Challenge. Running in September the free challenge encourages primary and secondary students to move together for 24 minutes each day, for five days.

With 70 per cent of children aged 2–17 not meeting daily physical activity guidelines in Australia, the challenge is designed to help schools build belonging, boost learning readiness and strengthen resilience through ready-to-use daily movement guides, engaging activities and exciting prizes.

It’s plug-and-play for teachers to run and fun and rewarding for students.

Redmayne became a household name in 2022, when his animated penalty–shootout dance during Australia’s World Cup qualifier captured national attention – it was this moment that he was nicknamed the ‘Grey Wiggle’ which later earned him a token jersey from the children’s entertainers.

The sporting hero knows the importance of movement and education – from growing up with teacher parents to earning a primary teaching degree. Now with a young family of his own, he said movement has shaped every stage of his life.

“Growing up with parents who were teachers showed me early on that movement isn’t just ‘nice to have’ – it completely changes how kids show up in the classroom,” Redmayne said. “It builds confi dence, routine and resilience. I’ve lived that as a student, as a teacher–in–training, in sport and now as a parent, and I want young people to feel those benefi ts every single day.”

To encourage schools to register, one lucky school will win an exclusive visit from Redmayne in June.

The visit will include a skills session, a talk on resilience and healthy routines, and a student Q&A about his career and everyday wellbeing practices.

Since 2002, Kulture Break has delivered movement–based resilience programs to more than 500,000 students nationally and internationally.

Founder and CEO Francis Owusu said Redmayne’s involvement brings a powerful example for students and school communities.

“Andrew’s journey reflects the confidence, connection and resilience we want young people to experience every day,” Owusu said. “His commitment to education and his understanding of what students need to thrive make him an important voice in this year’s challenge. We’re pleased to have him join us in encouraging schools to prioritise movement and wellbeing.”
