The Bogan Bush Mobile is a mobile playgroup which provides developmentally appropriate programs that cater to children's individual needs from birth to six (6) years. The Bogan Bush Mobile aims to:

• Provide a multi-functional service that meets the needs of children, their families and the community
• Promote the development of each child socially, emotionally, intellectually, creatively and physically through caring relationships, the provision of appropriate activities, quality toys and educational materials
• Help each child learn to share and enjoy the company of other children
• Encourage parents to be involved in the program and to develop their social, educational and personal skills through parent education

Some of the learning experiences and activities we provide are art and craft, music and dance, story time, dramatic play, fine motor eg. playdough, messy play eg goop, shaving cream, gross motor ie riding bikes, trikes, mini trampoline, playing games, etc.

We travel to a number of small towns and villages on a fortnightly basis being Nyngan, Hermidale, Nevertire, Tottenham, Duck Creek, Girilambone, Collie, Marthaguy, Quambone, Marra, Warren and Trangie. 

Our sessions are for 2 hours and morning tea or lunch needs to be provided by the Parent/Carer.  We charge a session fee of $2.00 per child or $4.00 per family.  We also charge an annual Enrolment fee $20 child/$30 family.  Our program changes fortnightly so each fortnight our resources are different. We provide a toy library and a parent library which resources can be borrowed from.  The parent library consists of a wide variety of books and magazines.

The Bogan Bush Mobile is auspiced by the Bogan Shire Council, funded by Department of Education, Employment & Workplace Relations (DEEWR) and has a very strong Parent Advisory Committee which meets bi-monthly. If you and your family would like to be part of the Mobile, you can contact Julia, Simone or Nikki on Phone (02) 6835 9090, Mobile 0428 322 199 or come along to the session closest to where you live or you can pop into our office most afternoons and see us.  The office is located in the Town Hall Building, Cobar Street, Nyngan.

At St Joseph's we strive to create an atmosphere of co-operation between parents and school for the ultimate good of the child. As a parish school, we presuppose that by enrolling your child, you have some commitment to religious values. May God, through Mary MacKillop and St Joseph, bless our school's mission and shared responsibility of educating your child in a truly Catholic atmosphere of love and concern for each individual.

St Joseph's School, Nyngan was established in 1884 by three Sisters of St Joseph for the Catholic education of children in the area. The school started with 140 children. In 1911 the current Primary Building was built and has had extensions and refurbishing completed over the years with major work being carried out following two disasters - the flood in April, 1990 and the storm in January, 1998.
