School Sport Australia is excited to announce a new partnership with Lilly’s Active (from the creators of Lilly's Little Lunchbox) to supply nearly 1000 nutritious and delicious meals to the officials and volunteers at four of our sports at the Inaugural School Sport Australia Games (SSAG01) on the Gold Coast.

This collaboration ensures that many of the officials and volunteers involved in the event will have access to fresh, dietitian-approved meals designed to support active, healthy lifestyles.
