PPS Community Hub
Primbee Public School is proud to partner with Community Hubs Australia to provide access to engaging opportunities for our school community. Our hub was established in 2024 and is led by the wonderful Helen Grdic. Our hub welcomes all members of the community including parents and carers of children enrolled at PPS as well as members of the wider community.
About Community Hubs
Community hubs build social cohesion in Australia. They are welcoming places where families from diverse backgrounds, particularly mothers with preschool children, come to connect, share and learn.
The National Community Hubs Program (NCHP) model is a proven place-based and people-centred way of building connections and social and economic capital within culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
Hubs are embedded in primary schools and help bridge the gap between families and the wider community. They connect families with each other, with their school, and with local services and support.
