More Hunter schools will be open during the school holidays as part of the Share Our Space Program.
Due to its popularity amongst the community, the initiative has been expanded from 19 schools trialled during the 2017 Summer holidays.
32 schools will be open from July 9th until July 20th between 8am until 5pm.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter, Scot MacDonald, describes the program as a "win, win, win", as it not only keeps children active during holidays but keeps the facilities safe from vandalism.
"We also gave every one of these schools that are participating a $5000 grant to help upgrade their facilities," says Scot Macdonald.
To see which schools are participating in your area, go to the Department of Education's website.
