Subscriber only Marburg s youngest kids are getting the best possible headstart to schooling with a new grant for the local playgroup. In its fourth year, the Marburg Playgroup was successful in applying for its first grant, which went towards educational toys and resources for its smallest members. Amy Cross, who was instrumental in organising the playgroup and grant, said the group was well-supported by Marburg State School.
