schools as community centres

Schools as Community Centres (SaCC) use a community development approach to link families with their local school.

SaCCs are based in public schools around the State, providing a range of projects such as:

• Supported playgroups, play and learn groups for children and parents
• Transition to school, home literacy and transport projects
• Nutrition and child health screening projects
• Parenting workshops and support groups, information and resources
• Projects that bring other services into the school and community

Schools as Community Centres are provided by the NSW Department of Education and Training, as part of Families NSW.
