Super Site Award

The Super Site Award recognises the outstanding contribution made by schools and Out of School Hour Care Services (sites) in the coordination and delivery of the Active After-school Communities (AASC) program.

The Super Site Award has been established to promote best practice and recognise outstanding site achievement.

There is one annual Super Site Award per state/territory which is announced in Term 4 each year. Sites may be nominated for the award by their local regional coordinator throughout the year. 

Volunteer Recognition

The AASC Volunteer Recognition Program (VRP) seeks to recognise the contribution volunteers make to the AASC program.

Volunteers are defined, for this process, as community members who assist with elements of the AASC program not directly related to working with children and delivery of sessions (eg: afternoon tea assistants) and those who have completed the requirements for inclusion in the AASC program (community coaches, site supervisors and site coordinators), but receive no remuneration for coaching however, may be reimbursed for expenses incurred while volunteering (honorarium).

The latter group remains eligible for 5 Star Community Coach Award and Super Site Award nominations in addition to being recognised for their voluntary services.

Those recognised will be awarded a certificate acknowledging the substantial amount of time they have contributed to supporting, coaching, coordinating and/or supervising sessions in the AASC program.

Certificates may be awarded at any time of the year, however a more concentrated approach will occur at the end of Term 3/beginning of Term 4 as other recognition processes also occur at this time of the year.

Note: In addition to localised recognition, long term volunteers may also be nominated for existing state government volunteering awards in the appropriate categories.
