Term 2 2026

At Helping Hands Network, we see before and after school care as more than a service — it’s a springboard. A place where kids thrive, friendships grow, and curiosity is always encouraged. Because every glue stick masterpiece, every epic game of tag, and every new friend is a step towards growing capable, confident young people. Helping Hands Network is where play meets potential. Term 2 bookings are open now. Come and join the fun!
