A huge congratulations to the following students who have been elected as our 2023 OSHC student leaders. We look forward to seeing and hearing their ideas for future improvement in our OSHC program.

Quality Improvement Plan
This fortnight we are looking at Quality Area 3 of the National Quality Standards ‘The Physical Environment’ and are wanting to get your feedback on the way our environment is designed, equipped and organised. Is it welcoming and inviting? Do your children ever say we wish OSHC had …? How can we better the set up? We want your thoughts!!
Reminder that we open from 7:30am
Just a reminder that we open from 7:30AM. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept your child before this time due to our licensing agreements. We thank you for your understanding.
Child Care Subsidy: Balancing Deadlines Approaching
At the end of the financial year, which is 30 June, Services Australia compares your income estimate with your actual income to check you got the right amount of Child Care Subsidy (CCS). This is called balancing.
You need to confirm your family’s income before Services Australia can balance your payments. There are deadlines.
One Year After The Financial Year Ends
You have one year to confirm your income. If you don’t confirm your income within 12 months after the end of a financial year your CCS will stop and you’ll have to pay full fees for childcare.
If you got CCS for 2021–22 you have until 30 June 2023 to confirm your income.
Two years after the financial year ends
If you still haven’t confirmed your income two years after a financial year ends you may have to repay any CCS you received for that financial year.
If you haven’t confirmed your income for 2020–21 you must do so by 30 June 2023.
How To Confirm Income
Confirm your income by:
- lodging your tax return, or
- telling Services Australia that you don’t need to lodge, even if you’ve already told the Australian Taxation Office.
Learn more about the balancing process on the Services Australia website.
Wonder Recycling Rewards for Schools
Please remember to keep collecting your bread bags for us! We have once again joined the ‘Wonder Recycling Rewards for Schools’ initiative in an effort to raise soft plastic recycling awareness and earn points for sports equipment for our school.
Please keep your bread bags, tags and wrap packets (from any bread brand not just Wonder) bring them to school and place in the Wonder recycling boxes found in our OSHC room and in the foyer at the front office. Once collected, Wonder is going to turn the plastic into wonderful things like school play equipment!
The more we recycle the more points we can earn for our school!
