Allambie Heights Hub

Mon 5th February, 2024  –  Fri 20th December, 2024

Sydney’s famous beaches are all around the Allambie hub, and it’s no surprise that they’re a big part of life for locals. This is where we love daily activities like bike riding on the local tracks, cooking, photography, yoga, gardening, music, and dance in the beautiful surroundings. Find some quiet time for yourself and your interests in one of the many break-out rooms whenever you feel the need. Then get back in amongst it with social groups, after-school care, weekend adventures, and nights out all to meet new friends and explore the local community.
