Use of iPads at OSHC

In our home learning space, we allocate iPad time from 3:10 to 3:30 pm. During this period, we kindly request that students use only the apps and websites assigned by their teachers and OSHC educators. These educational resources are listed on a poster displayed in our designated home learning area. We have discussed with the students the importance of adhering to certain guidelines for iPad usage and the consequences of misuse, which may include the temporary suspension of iPad privileges. If you have any questions about iPad usage at OSHC, please contact the OSHC Director or Assistant Director. 

Child Care Subsidy and Absences Information 

Families are eligible for 42 allowable absences per child each financial year. Enrolments with Imagination OSHC will end if your child has not attended for 14 weeks in a row. If your child has not used OSHC at least once in the previous 26 weeks, they will stop being eligible for Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and you will need to start a new claim for the Child Care Subsidy via the Centrelink portal. 

Please note, Centrelink generally won’t pay for any absences before your child physically attends or after the last day your child physically attends care. For example, if your child is absent on the last day of care within the 14 weeks and the enrolment ceases, you will need to pay full fees for the day your child was absent.

Medical Information

A friendly reminder that if your child/ren is/are diagnosed with a medical condition, please ensure an updated medical action plan, risk minimisation plan and medication are provided to Imagination. 

All children with allergies must have a current ASCIA action plan for anaphylaxis or an ASCIA action plan for allergic reactions. 

If your child has been diagnosed with asthma, please ensure that you also provide educators with an asthma care plan which has been completed by your child’s medical practitioner. 

For all other medical conditions, please complete a medical conditions risk minimisation form. 

Medical action plans need to be reviewed annually, or as the doctor requests. 

Please attach a current photo of your child to the medical action plan. 

In conjunction with the medical action plans, an Imagination medical condition risk minimisation is required. This form will provide all educators with valuable knowledge on how to reduce the risks of a medical emergency for your child. To make this more accessible for families in 2024, we have created online risk minimisation forms. You can access them here: 

Anaphylaxis/ allergy: https://forms.office.com/r/pF36DjnndJ 

Asthma: https://forms.office.com/r/j6EZqtBLVE 

Medical conditions: https://forms.office.com/r/Vyv8Kh7Ygt 

Please also ensure that ALL medication provided to Imagination is in its original packaging, which is clearly labelled with a pharmacy label that states your child’s name, date of birth, and dosage requirements. The label needs to be attached to either the bottle of medication or the canister of the Asthma inhaler.

Your child cannot attend Imagination until these are up to date.

Review of Medical Information 

Please note that some medical action plans, risk minimisation plans, or medications are due for review. The Imagination Coordinator will contact families when these are due to expire. We kindly ask that these are updated as soon as possible. Thank you for supporting us keep your child safe at Imagination.
