Community playgroup
The Stronger Beginnings, Brighter Future playgroup runs at our school every Wednesday morning from 9.30am to 11am, during term time. Playgroup is open to all 0 to 6 year-olds in the community, and their families. It's a wonderful way to connect with other parents and preschoolers, and a great way for children to become familiar with a school, before they start Kindergarten.
Playgroup is free and morning tea is provided. We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful school.
