THE South Shepparton Community Centre is running a special program for pre-school children and their parents or carers every Tuesday morning from at 10am to 11:30am. The centre fills with sounds of children having fun, singing and dancing to their favourite tunes.

South Shepparton Community Centre received a Community Matching Grant from the Greater Shepparton City Council, which has been utilised to purchase equipment and morning teas. Di Burgmann, a teacher and musician, leads the children through singing, music, dancing and stories.

Di said “It has been a wonderful experience to watch the children and their parents come out of their shells over the weeks and fully enjoy the time. I noticed stay-at-home fathers appreciate a place they can bring their children and share each other’s company.”

If you are a mum, dad, grandparent or carer you are welcome to bring your pre-schoolers to the play group. Call 5821 6172 or find South Shepparton Community Centre at 11 Service Street, Shepparton.
