GSA is offering a limited number of $50 vouchers for MUSport’s School Holiday Program (September/October 2024) to currently enrolled graduate students who are parents or carers to children aged between 5 – 12 years old.
The $50 voucher can be redeemed for the school holiday programs happening between 23 September and 4 October 2024.
Currently enrolled graduate students can already access a 30% discount on the cost of the school holiday program advertised on MUSport’s website. With a $50 voucher from GSA, the cost of each school holiday program day will be reduced significantly.
Applicants will need to express their interest for the $50 voucher by completing the questionnaire below.
What is the School Holiday Program?
The School Holiday Program is regularly run by MUSport and runs during the Victorian School Holidays. For this term, the program runs from Monday 23 September to Friday 4 October 2024.
There are different sporting and non-sporting activities available like basketball, badminton, tennis, science, and ‘Tech, bots & code’. This term, new activities have been added like Arts & Crafts, Boxing, and Mini CPR & First Aid.
The programs are suitable for children aged 5 – 12 years old and each program day runs from 8.30am to 3.30pm, with aftercare available for $32.60 extra from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. The $50 voucher cannot be used for the cost of aftercare.
To find out the types of activities run each day, as well as the actual cost of the program each day, please refer to the MuSport website: School Holiday Program | Melbourne University Sport (unimelb.edu.au)
