School playgrounds in the Cronulla electorate will be available for the local community to use during the school holidays under an expansion of the successful Share Our Space Program.
Four Cronulla schools will now be open for the community to enjoy during the winter school holidays. Caringbah Public School, Kurnell Public School and Woolooware Public School will participate in the program along with Cronulla South Public School, which first threw open its gates during the April school holidays.
School playgrounds are valuable assets and by making them accessible outside of the school term they can provide a broader benefit to the whole community, including opportunities for sport on school ovals.
Allowing access to school grounds and sports facilities is also a great way to encourage children to keep active during the holidays.
The Share Our Space Program is part of the NSW Government’s recently announced $290 million Open Spaces and Green Sydney package.
Participating schools will receive a $5000 grant they can use to help upgrade their facilities for community and school use.
The schools will be open during the upcoming school holidays from 9 to 20 July, between 8am to 5pm.
3 December is the International Day of People with Disability.

Mark Speakman deserves to be in Opposition. I wrote to his Shadow Attorney General about illegal discrimination in the Department of Communities and Justice and his office's first response was that I didn't live in Henskens' electorate!
25 November was the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
In Cronulla, today was the annual Walk for Respectful Relationships from Don Lucas Reserve to Cronulla Beach, attended by a large crowd of local school students and community groups with the theme “Call out, Speak Out, Help Out”.
Congratulations and thanks to the organising committee and Woolooware High School.
