Abstract
The purpose of sharing this partnership story is to promote quality learning experiences in physical education, and subsequent promotion of health and wellbeing. Data gathered suggest the learning opportunities created through partnerships were relevant, engaging, contemporary, physically active, enjoyable, and developmentally appropriate for all stakeholders, namely, Initial Teacher Education (ITE) university pre-service teachers, primary school children, and primary teachers. This story is about the localisation of non-funded partnerships in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. Stakeholders were predominantly of the Australian national level but were also international.
