**About the Centre/Service**

The Lucas LEAP (Learning Enrichment and Activity Program) was established in 2024 to meet the increasing outside school hours care needs of Lucas Primary School families. The program operates out of the school’s gymnasium/performing arts centre and utilises the extensive outdoor grounds and equipment onsite. Our passionate educators work collaboratively to develop an engaging program to meet the daily needs of the students. While the program can accommodate up to 60 students per session, we typically serve between 30 - 40 at a time. During school holidays, we offer vacation care with long day sessions, featuring excursions and incursions designed around student interests. Our dedicated team maintain strong connections with Lucas Primary School, making transitions to and from the program seamless for students.
