The Gamadji centre will be open on Wednesday 14 January 10am-2pm at 39 Mackillop Street, Craigieburn (co-located with Gamadji Primary School).

Umarkoo’s open day on Thursday 15 January will be held between 10am-2pm at 28 Ellesmere Boulevard, Wollert (co-located with Umarkoo Primary School).

The open days will provide an opportunity to tour the centres, due to open in early 2026, and meet the skilled and experienced educators.
