GPBASC History

The centre was originally established by a group of working parents for Gladesville Public School in 1979, it was located in the old sandstone cottage which was in desperate need of restoration.

In 1989 an establishment grant of $100,000 was secured by an active group of Putney Public School parents and the newly elected member of Gladesville Mr Ivan Petch. The purpose of the grant was to establish a centre within the Putney School’s grounds. However, a school community decision as to how and where the centre would be located could not be reached; as a consequence, a joint schools committee was elected with representation from parents and Citizens Associations of both Gladesville and Putney Public Schools. It was decided to use the $100,000 grant to restore the old stone cottage on the grounds of Gladesville Public School for the purpose of a shared facility to be known as the Gladesville Putney Before & After School Care.
