In consultation with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members, the Yantiin Kalabara program was designed to encourage healthy lifestyle choices and promote strong, sustainable and mutually respectful relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Aboriginal Australians.  \nThe program involved five primary schools (March–July 2021) within the Awabakal, Wonnarua, Darkinjung and Worimi Countries (Australia) in movement-based and culturally rich learning activities (primarily dance) . The feasibility of the program for use in primary schools (mean age:  \n10.1±1 .2yrs) and preliminary efficacy for affecting change in key health behaviours (physical activity, nutrition, screen-time) was assessed using student questionnaires.  \nYantiin Kalabara was delivered as intended by the Hunter Primary Care team and volunteers.  \nStudents ( N = 293) reported that Yantiin Kalabara helped them improve their overall health (mean 3.6 out of 4), physical activity (mean 3. 4/4), eating habits (mean 3.3/4) and screen-time patterns (mean 3.2/4) . We have demonstrated that the Yantiin Kalabara program can be feasibly delivered in primary schools, and that the program was efficacious in affecting positive changes in key health behaviours of participating children. However, further evaluation of Yantiin Kalabara in larger and more diverse populations using a randomised controlled trial is warranted.  \nKeywords: health, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education, primary schools, evaluation  \nIntroduction  \nWellbeing is a complex multidimensional concept, affected by the combination of a person’s physical, mental, emotional and social health factors. Extending from Western definitions, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people also consider collective wellbeing to involve harmony in social relationships, in spiritual relationships, and in the fundamental relationship with the land and other aspects of the physical environment (Australian Institute of Family Studies, 2018; Haswell et al., 2013) . Although the continual building of wellbeing throughout one’s life is important (Australian Institute of Health and  \nWelfare, 2020), childhood remains a critical period for the development and learning of how to create a foundation for future and lifelong wellbeing. Three important issues currently affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and non-Aboriginal Australian students and warrant innovative intervention: 1) low levels of physical activity, 2) poor nutrition, and 3) increased recreational screentime. Schools are at the forefront of health education for primary school students in Australia, with mandatory schooling provided to those from age 6 and above. In particular, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students report the importance of attending school, achieving good grades, and contributing to their community and society as a whole (Brown, 2019). This makes schools a prime setting for targeting the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and non-Aboriginal Australian children.  \nAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population  \nA","cbCaim1LN9k70nWa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim1LN9k70nWa","pdf",351086,"English","# Introduction\n## Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population\n## Novel and evidence-informed early intervention strategies","[{\"question\":\"What is the Yantiin Kalabara program and who is it for?\",\"answer\":\"Yantiin Kalabara is a one-day, school-based health education program for primary schools.
