IKC

Our local IKC offers a broad range of activities for Hope Vale residents and anybody who passes through. Monitored Internet Access, History Acknowledged Foyer Area (works underway), Children’s Corner to keep the kids busy while mum, dad & nannies can relax and read a book in the airconditioning. We have a great IKC Coordinator to assist with any questions if needed and if she can’t help, she will point you in the direction of someone who can.
