10 school playgrounds open these holidays!

Playgrounds, ovals and sports courts at 10 Central Coast schools will be open for public use over the Summer school holidays. Point Clare Public is a new Coastie addition these holidays.

Dates: 22 December 2018 – 25 January 2019.

Opening times: 8am-6pm. 7 days a week, including public holidays.

The schools are opening as part of the NSW Department of Education’s “Share Our Space Program”. This program – first launched 12 months ago – has encouraged more than 230 schools state-wide to open their gates these Summer holidays, and those numbers are expected to continue to grow as news of the scheme spreads.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said, “Schools across our State offer such valuable open and green spaces and it is great that instead of being locked away from the community over the holiday period, they will open for the community to enjoy.”

Participating schools receive a $5000 grant they can use to help upgrade their facilities for community and school use. Parents, tell your teachers and P&C about this great scheme, so your school, too, can get involved. Hopefully next holidays we can add even more locals schools to this list.
