Dr Tara Fritchitthavong says that @MaribyrnongCC receives multiple requests a week from community groups looking for a space to meet. If more schools could open up after hours, it would help! She says its early days, and she hopes #sharingschools will be more common in future.

Audience question: "We're developing a school-based community hub but have scant resources. We're working long hours. What is your advice?" The panellists ask the audience member some great questions, and give advice #sharingschools

Having welcoming and accessible foyer spaces is SO important for welcoming families to schools & community hubs, say Laurence Robinson (Brand Architects) and Caroline Menassa (Hub Coordinator, Broadmeadows) #sharingschools

Ruth Hamilton says that it creates a sense of cultural safety and respect, when children and families contribute to the design of a facility. The welcome starts as soon as the family get out of the car @OurPlaceAust @GreaterGeelong

Laurence Robinson from Brand Architects has extensive experience designing schools that function as community hubs. He recalls dropping his daughter at creche and - as an over involved father - ended up redesigning the facility. He's discussing his work on @OurPlaceAust projects.

Ruth Hamilton from @GreaterGeelong is describing families accessing playgroups and services, thanks to the "one door approach" championed by @OurPlaceAust. Families only need to walk through one door to access a wide range of supports @MSDSocial @UniMelb #sharingschools

Now we have Ruth Hamilton from @GreaterGeelong. She's Coordinator of Early Childhood Education & Care Services. Her work in the prison system motivated her to switch to early childhood, to help people earlier in their lives, for greater impact @MSDSocial @UniMelb #sharingschools
