Community Play Group

Supporting the wellbeing of Morisset

The Morisset and Bonnells Bay Playgroup, a collaborative initiative with Lake Macquarie City Council, has been a remarkable success and a testament to the strength of our partnership. Launched earlier this term, the playgroup has quickly become a beloved community asset, garnering enthusiastic participation from families.

Our weekly program is thoughtfully designed to support and enhance child development, featuring a diverse range of activities. These include opportunities for gross and fine motor skill development, sensory and messy play, imaginative play, and much more.

The HUB
