Borenore Public School, Mullion Creek Public School, Spring Hill Public School, Millthorpe Public School, Cumnock Public School and Yeoval Central School are among 230 public schools taking part in the Share our Space program.
All schools that are participating in the program will give public access to school ovals, playgrounds and sports courts from between 8am and 6pm from Saturday, December 22 to Friday, January 25 seven days a week, including public holidays.
The Department of Education’s School Infrastructure NSW unit will manage the program, which will involve opening and closing school gates each morning and evening, ensuring the schools are cleaned regularly and arranging security guards to manage and maintain school assets.
The $30 million Share Our Space program forms part of the NSW Government’s $290 million Open Spaces and Greener Sydney package to make NSW communities greener and more liveable.
