Woy Woy to benefit from grant program

Woy Woy Public School will be one of the first to benefit from the $20 million Out of School Hours Care grant program, according to Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Mr Scot MacDonald.

"This new service will no doubt be an invaluable asset for our local community," Mr MacDonald said.

"We understand working parents need flexibility and that is why we have now expanded the grant program and opened it up to more schools," he said.

"This will enable our local school communities to meet unresolved demand," Mr MacDonald said.

Mr MacDonald said that applications were being accepted from schools to launch or expand on existing Out of School Hours Care services.

Grants of up to $30,000 were available for schools to assist with the cost of these services.
