Holiday Programmes

BREAK-AWAY SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

The Government has committed $3.0 million annually in the Break-Away School Holiday Programme, a new initiative that provides stimulating, fun and structured holiday activity for young people aged 11-17 years who would not normally have access to holiday programmes.

Key elements of the Break-Away School Holiday Programmes

Break-Away funds 30,000 one-week school holiday programme places for young people aged 11-17 years each year.
The programmes start in January 2010 with 15,000 one week places available in the six months to June 2010. This will move up to 30,000 places available each year from July 2010.
Young people can refer themselves on the programme, or they can be referred by parents or others in the community.
The programmes are available at no cost to participants. They provide daily activities over the 12 week school holiday period.
Any young person from the targeted communities is eligible to attend, regardless of parental income.
