New JPII Second Hand Uniform Facebook Group

Please join our new  John Paul II Second Hand Uniform (Official)  page on Facebook. This is a place you can buy or sell uniform items.  All transactions are arranged between the buyer and seller and outside of the school. This page is a great way to replace uniform items and/or to keep up with your growing child's needs with less expense. It is also a great way to be sustainable.  We hope that it becomes a useful tool for our school community.

 

Another option available to families is to donate the uniform at the school office for other John Paul II families.  These items are stored in tubs based on sizes.  Parents are welcome to have a look in these tubs at any time and take anything they need.

 

 

 

Have you heard of 'Ticket To Play'?

Ticket to Play is a Tasmanian Government initiative designed to reduce the cost of sport and active recreation membership and/or registration for eligible children.

Ticket to Play provides two vouchers worth up to $100 each towards club membership fees for children aged 5-18 years who are listed on a Services Australia Health Care or Pensioner Concession Card or are in Out of Home Care. Vouchers can be used at two different activity providers, or both can be used at one activity provider.

The key objective of Ticket to Play is to increase the number of young Tasmanians participating in sport and active recreation.

 

Who is eligible for a voucher?

Applicants must be:

  • aged between 5 and 18 years old at the time of application; and
  • listed on a valid Services Australia Health Care or Pensioner Concession Card (either their own or their parent, guardian or carer’s) or be in Out of Home Care
  • Special consideration may apply if the child is aged 5 to 18 years, is a resident in Tasmania and meets the following criteria:
    • the child/family is a temporary or provisional visa holder, undocumented migrant or international student.

What can I use a voucher for?
