Schools as Community Centres (SaCC)

The Schools as Community Centres (SaCC)  project is hosted by NSW Public Schools and this service offers a holistic approach to early learning and wellbeing with four key interconnected elements of collaborative service delivery: the early development of children; key life transitions; positive parenting; and 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. The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia; Belonging, Being & Becoming and the Australian Early Development Census, as well as school data, are key planning tools for use by SaCC facilitators.

In partnership with other local service providers, the SaCC offers a range of services including supported and community playgroups, transition to preschool and kindergarten programs, parenting courses, TAFE course, health promotion projects and adult literacy programs.

Detailed information regarding the programs being run in the SaCC are available on the Audiri app. Download the application on your phone and search 'Audiri' and add ‘Punchbowl Public School’. There is also an active Facebook group link you can join https://www.facebook.com/groups/PunchbowlPublicSchoolSaCC which is regularly updated with program news and information.
