The arrival of a new year brings hope and the chance to make a fresh start. You can make 2020 the year for change with The Active Kids Rebate.
Are you looking to change habits in the new year and get your kids active?
The Active Kids Rebate can help you by shouldering some of the financial strain of engaging the kids in out of school activities. This program offered by the NSW Government means that kids from kindergarten through to Year 12 are eligible for a $100 rebate voucher.
Why is the Active Kids Rebate so great?
The wonderful aspect of this, is that kids can try out a new sport or recreational activity to see what piques their interest. From the parents/caregiver perspective, it’s a great way for the kids to try out some new sporting activities without financial commitment (which can deter some families).
With a diverse mix of activities, your local PCYC Club is the perfect place to redeem your voucher. Your best plan involves enrolling the kids in activities you know they will like, and thanks to the voucher – taking a chance with a new activity. The importance of keeping active can’t be underestimated. After all, it’s far easier to get our kids to be active than it is once they’re all grown up. We know this, because research shows that large numbers of Australian adults are inactive.
With so many sporting options to choose from – sometimes it can get overwhelming. So why not consider some of these tried and true activities, to help make lifestyle changes for the better (check with your local PCYC Club to see what activities they offer, because the offerings vary from club-to-club).
