Local schools open gates to the community these school holidays

The Share Our Space program opens some school facilities to the public during the school holidays.

A family of five walks along a park path. The parents hold a baby and young children. Trees and greenery surround them in the background. Public schools are public places – come and share our spaces

Outdoor facilities at some schools in our area will be open to the public from Saturday 21 December to Thursday 30 January, except Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day and Australia Day.

This allows community members to use outdoor facilities at public schools during holidays for a wide range of activities.
