Positive Start in 2022

Marnebek School is very pleased to let you know about the Victorian Government’s Positive Start in 2022 initiative which provides Victorian students more opportunities to participate in fun and engaging camps and experiences in 2022.

Over the past two years, kids have missed many of those extra-curricular activities that are such an important part of their whole education.

That’s why the Victorian Government is investing $112.9 million in the Positive Start in 2022 initiative to help students bounce back into the world and experience the richness of Victorian life and culture.

Not only will students get more opportunities to visit museums, zoos, art galleries and take part in sporting programs and extra swimming lessons, they can also go on camps with their school friends and enjoy adventure activities such as abseiling, canoeing, rope courses, bush walks, hut building, cooking and orienteering.

They can go to performances, tours and music workshops at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and take part in visual arts, music production and drama workshops. Students can also learn to skateboard, breakdance, or brush up on their footy or netball skills.

The Positive Start in 2022 initiative will provide more than 81,000 students to attend fully subsidised camps, 325,000 fully subsidised places for students in sporting and cultural programs, and 690,000 additional swimming lessons. These will boost kids’ motivation and help them rebuild their connections with friends, teachers and communities.
