Ms Sutton said the two-week event, to be held in Bendigo, would give schools the ability to face off against teams they had never encountered before in sports such as basketball, netball, hockey and table tennis.
She said Schools in Action would bring together high performing secondary school sport teams from all sectors of education,.
They will compete for the honour of being the best sporting school in their sport in Australia.
Schools in Action made the announcement jointly with the City of Greater Bendigo yesterday of its venue selection for the 2023 competition.
