WA kids say 150,000 is a great number!



Tomorrow Member for Parliament Melissa Parke will join hundreds of kids from

the Fremantle region to celebrate a huge milestone for the Australian Sports

Commission’s Active After-school Communities (AASC) program – 150,000

children around Australia are now playing sport, games and activities after school

in a safe, fun and structured environment.


Ms Parke said she was happy to be able to help celebrate the event and

congratulated all involved in this Australian Government Initiative. 


Primary schools and Out of School Hours Care centres in the Fremantle region

are part of a highly successful national program and they’re doing their bit to live a

healthier life,’ Ms Parke said. 


The unique program now boasts 150,000 children nationally having fun, improving

their motor skills, making new friends, saying no to sedentary activities after

school and developing a lifelong love of being physically active.
