Schools as Community Centres
Schools as Community Centres (SaCC) programs are hosted by NSW public schools and led by local facilitators who coordinate a range of community engagement initiatives to support families with young children. Currently, 48 NSW public schools host a SaCC program.
What is SaCC?
SaCC programs take a holistic approach to early learning and wellbeing through 4 interconnected elements of collaborative service delivery:
• early development of children
• key life transitions
• positive parenting
• safe, healthy and connected communities.
The focus on the early development of children is based on well-established evidence that the first years of a child's life are crucial for setting the foundation for life-long health and learning outcomes.
Parents are encouraged to be connected to their children and their community through attending: Supported Playgroups, Storytime & Connection, Multicultural Playgroup, Kindy Gym, Transition to School Playgroups, Infant Massage classes and other activities
