Get Setup for Success with the St Mary’s College milangkani program!
The College offers an encouraging and nurturing environment for parents and carers to actively participate with their children in learning opportunities. A variety of play-based educational activities will engage your child’s learning and curiosity in all areas of development.
All families in the greater community with children aged between birth and five years old are warmly welcome to attend.
Setup for Success is a free program.
