Schools as Community Centres (SaCC)

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.

SaCC programs deliver a wide range of initiatives, including:

• supported playgroups

• early literacy and learning activities

• transition to school strategies

• parenting support programs

• health and nutrition initiatives.

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, Breakfast Club, Parenting Programs, Baby Massage, Guest Speaker Workshops and other activities we run.
