Who is ACC?

 

Abbotsford Community Centre (ACC) is a non-profit organisation providing assistance to families through the provision of Out-Of-School Hours (OOSH) Care and Vacation Care in a safe and friendly environment.

 

The centre is located next to Abbotsford Public School in what was once the Head Master's Cottage.

 

After School Care ensures all children in infant years are picked up from school and escorted to the centre. Primary children are signed in at the centre side gate where a variety of programmed activities are available.

 

Care is available for school aged children, so the variety of leisure activities is broad and age appropriate – art and craft, woodworking, tapestry, origami, and gardening to name a few. Sport is also organised each afternoon, with carers supervising obstacle courses, races, and more conventional sports like volleyball, tennis, soccer, cricket and basketball.

 

Our aim is to extend the children’s range of experience in these types of leisure activities and engage them in stimulating, life-skill projects that challenge and teach.

 

ACC is led by a volunteer parent management committee. The centre employs a Director and other staff who are responsible for the daily operation of the centre and the care of your children.

 

Parents are welcome to speak to management committee or the Director at anytime regarding any issues or concerns.
