Our centre is located in a bushland setting within the grounds of St Augustine’s Parish Primary School as part of the Coolangatta -Tugun Parish community.

Our Outside School Hours Care program supports working families by providing a safe environment before and after school that is designed to cater to their children’s age, skills, interests and abilities.

We run a flexible and adaptable child-initiated program incorporating children’s ideas, cultures and interests. We view each child as having preparedness, potential, curiosity and interest in constructing their own learning and in negotiating everything the environment presents to them. We provide guidance and support to children so they can discover, explore and create something new everyday.

Our centre strives to foster a culture that celebrates diversity and interdependence and we encourage children to value and respect each other.

We encourage free play and promote both indoor and outdoor, individual and group activities.

Vikki Sturt

Coordinator

I’ve been a coordinator:
Since 2008
My favourite thing about being a coordinator is:
Seeing children discover new things and providing quality care and support for families.
Something I like to tell all mums and dads is:
Our service strives to be a place that feels like a happy interim between home and school where the children belong and contribute to what is their space to play and learn with.
My favourite way to relax is:
In the garden, at the beach, weaving, yoga, drawing, with music, and/or reading.
