Ettalong opens schoolgrounds for the holidays

Ettalong Public School has opened its grounds during the school holidays as part of the NSW Government's Share Our Space Program.

Under the program, participating schools receive a $5000 grant they can use to help upgrade their facilities for community and school use.

Participating schools will be open between 8am to 5pm from October 1 to 12, .

According to Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Mr Scot MacDonald, Ettalong Public School's playgrounds, ovals and sports courts are available to the public these school holidays.

He encouraged members of the Ettalong community to use the school and its facilities over the break.

"The Share Our Space Program provides valuable opportunities for local children and families to get out and play," Mr MacDonald said.

"I'm pleased the NSW Government is thinking outside the box to provide open play areas for our local community, and putting school assets to good use," he said.
