Expression of Interest round coming soon!
17 Jun 2009

Invitations to complete an Expression of Interest form for possible inclusion in the AASC program will be extended to schools and OSHCS in July.

The Active After-school Communities program is a national initiative that provides primary school-aged children with access to free, sport and other structured physical activity programs in the after-school time slot of 3.00pm to 5.30pm.

The program aims to engage traditionally inactive children in sport and other structured physical activities, and through a positive and fun experience, develop a love of sport that inspires them to join a local sporting club.

Find out how you can get involved in the AASC program and read about exciting events in the National AASC newsletters.
