AUSKICK
The Tenison Woods College Auskick program starts next term for any interested R-2 students. It will be on Tuesday afternoons from 3:30pm – 4:20pm starting 16 May (Week 3).  There will be 6 sessions with the last one being on Tuesday 20 June. Parents must register their child online. Visit www.aflauskick.com.au and follow the links to register at Tenison Woods College. The cost of Auskick is $60, unless you choose to use the Junior Sport Voucher making the cost only $10. The Junior Sport Voucher scheme is a government funded initiative to bring down the cost of sport for junior students in Reception – Year 7.  Please be aware, you can only use this voucher once per child this year. If you choose to use it for Auskick, you cannot use it again for any other sport fee at school or club level. If you choose to use the Junior Sport Voucher, it is a very simple process of ticking a box during registration and providing your Medicare number.  You pay the $10 or $60 by credit card at the website and all information then gets forwarded onto the school. For any families that don’t have access to the internet, please speak to the front office.

There are 2 forms of registration – Registration for students doing Auskick for the first time (New Participant), or for those that have done Auskick before (Re-Register).  For those doing Auskick for the first time, the money pays for the sessions, insurance and students receive an Auskick backpack with lots of football gifts inside. For returning Auskick students, there is no pack, instead the AFL will be providing a top in the student’s AFL team. Once registered, the AFL will send you an email asking what AFL top you would like. 

Sessions this year will be run by the Tenison Woods College PE team, along with some senior students.
