Schools that receive Sporting Schools funding need to complete an acquittal for each funded term. If your school did not deliver a program during the school term, you are still required to complete the acquittal.
When acquittals open, you can access the online form via your school’s profile and submit your acquittal. Refer to How do I submit my acquittal for a detailed step by step process.
