New Active and Creative Kids vouchers – provider registrations open
The new Active and Creative Kids voucher program is starting in February 2024.
Providers offering sport, recreational, creative, or cultural activities for school-aged children in 2024 are invited to register now for the new program so they can beat the back-to-school rush and accept the new $50 vouchers.
As this is a new program, providers must register even if they are already registered to accept current Active or Creative Kids vouchers. There will be two new, combined $50 vouchers that eligible parents, guardians and carers of school-aged children can use:
- Two $50 vouchers will be available in 2024 (one voucher in Term 1 and one voucher in Term 3)
- Each voucher can be used on either an eligible active or creative activity
- Vouchers must be redeemed before their expiry date
- Vouchers will be available to those receiving Family Tax Benefits
A communication toolkit has been prepared to help share important information about the new program and how to register to become a provider.
2023 Yearbook - Delivery tomorrow!
Thank you for those you have ordered 2023 SJB School Year Book.
