OSHC

Our Before School Care session begins at 7am each morning. Breakfast is offered until 8:15am with a selection of toast, cereals, and fruit on the menu. The BSC program is a leisure-based program, with an arts & craft activity planned each morning, and use of the school hall and outdoor play spaces for physical play.

Children in Years 2 – 6 go to school independently at 8:35am when school supervision starts in the yard. Children in Preschool – Year 1 stay in the OSHC building for a small group game and then are dropped to their classroom by our OSHC educators at 8:45am. OSHC educators will sign the children into preschool each morning.

Our After School Care (ASC) program operates from 3:00pm to 6:15pm each weekday. At the end of the school day, Foundation and Year 1 students are collected directly from their classrooms by OSHC educators. Students in Year 2 and above make their way independently to the OSHC space, where they are welcomed and signed in by our team. Preschool children are brought to OSHC by their Preschool educators at 3:15pm.

The ASC program is designed to support the social, emotional, and cognitive development of children through a balance of structured and child-led experiences. As a leisure-based learning environment, it offers both programmed and free-choice activities aligned with the My Time, Our Place Framework for School Aged Children, and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) for preschool aged-children.

Children are encouraged to engage in a variety of experiences such as arts and crafts, construction, sports, board games, and creative play. Our service makes use of multiple learning environments across the school—including the Juniors Room, Main OSHC Room, Seniors Room, school hall, oval, computer room, and library—to facilitate small group learning and exploration.

A nutritious afternoon snack is provided daily, with a weekly menu displayed in the OSHC rooms. Seasonal fruit platters are also available each day to support healthy eating habits.

Our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) service operates from 7:00am to 6:15pm during school holidays and on pupil free days, offering families a full day of care in a safe, engaging, and supportive environment.

The Vacation Care program is published in Week 5 or 6 of each school term and features a diverse mix of planned excursions, incursions and in-house activity days. Families are required to complete an electronic booking form for each school holiday period and for individual pupil free days.

Children attending Vacation Care must bring their own recess (including a fruit snack), lunch, and a labelled drink bottle. Breakfast is available until 8:15am, and a nutritious afternoon snack is provided between 3:00pm and 4:00pm, depending on the day’s activities. A fresh fruit platter is also available daily. Sunscreen is supplied and applied when the UV Index is 3 or above. All children are also required to wear their OSHC hats for excursions and sun protection (where required).

Please note that the OSHC service is closed on all Public Holidays.

Our preferred payment method is via QKR or Direct Debit (via the Xplor app). Fees can also be paid in service using EFTPOS.

Our fee policy requires all fees to be settled within 14 days.

Please contact the OSHC service to begin the enrolment process. An enrolment package will be provided to you, or alternatively an electronic copy can be provided via email. All families are required to attend an Induction prior to commencing care at the service.

You may also be eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). We encourage you to begin a Child Care Subsidy Claim through Services Australia as soon as possible, as it can take time for your claim to be finalised. Additional information about claiming CCS is included in the enrolment package.

The OSHC service has a capacity of 120 places and is not able to exceed this maximum number of children. We encourage families to enrol with OSHC as early as possible and waitlists may apply for days that are fully booked.
