BEFORE SCHOOL CARE (BSC)

The before school care program operates from 7-9am on the grounds of Leichhardt Public School. Children begin their day with arts & games before partaking of a nutritious breakfast, after which they can head outside for some more active play. Children attending St. Fiacre's are walked to school by a staff member at 8:30am, Leichhardt PS children are signed out for school at 9am.

AFTER SCHOOL CARE (ASC)

The after school program operates from 3-6pm at Leichhardt PS (120 childcare places) and St.Fiacre's (45 places). Children enjoy a varied & nutritious afternoon tea before beginning the afternoon´s activities. Kids are encouraged to choose how they would like to spend their leisure time from the sport, craft, and cooking activities on offer. We are pleased to be able to offer the Active After School Communities program thanks to the generous support of the Federal government through Ausport
