The SPARK EduCare Learning Centre (SPARK Centre) is a community learning resource centre registered as a non-profit making organisation, that offers a calm and quiet atmosphere for 5 to 19 year olds and adults. The centre is setup to work with schools and private individuals, providing the community with temporary educational services.
