OSHC Bookings

It is important families’ book children into OSHC; so that educators know which children are attending sessions. It is also very important that families let the service know if their child/children will not be attending the session that they are booked in for to avoid any confusion. Staff members are not able to begin programmed activities until the safety of children is confirmed by roll call. If emergency contacts cannot be contacted, then emergency procedures need to be carried out. The service will alert school leadership, who will support the service to contact necessary emergency authorities.

Cancellation Procedure

If your child has a regular booking and will not be attending the program, the service must be notified as soon as possible. The service has a duty of care to all children attending and if your child/children do not attend, every effort is made to contact the parents/caregivers and emergency persons to find the location of the child/children.

OSHC needs to be advised of all cancellations. Notification of the cancellation must be received from the parent/caregiver either in writing (email/SMS) to the Director or verbally, not by the child/children.

Permanent bookings for Before School Care & After School Care can be cancelled in the Parent's Childcare App up to 6.00pm the day before the cancellation.

Cancellations of bookings after 6.00pm, will incur the full fee, unless in the case of OSHC being notified of the child or the child’s sibling being unwell or unforeseen circumstance, and at the discretion of the Director and/or Principal. Cancellations made after this will incur the normal session charge as an approved absence. Each child is entitled to 42 approved absences per financial year.

If your child/children are booked in for BSC or ASC and are NOT attending school that day due to sickness, please advise OSHC of their absence before 8.00am.

If you do not notify cancellations, you will be charged the session fee.

Contactable via phone - 0448830652 or email - oshcdirector@stb.catholic.edu.au.

Payment of Fees

OSHC accounts are emailed weekly and fees are expected to be paid on a weekly basis.  Fees must be paid on a weekly basis unless alternative arrangements have been negotiated with the Director.

Sun Protection Policy 

In line with our OSHC Policy and Procedures all students are required to wear their hats if UV levels are 3 or higher and sunscreen applied. Please ensure that your child has a school hat and labelled with their name to wear in their bag. St Brigid’s OSHC Staff access the daily local sun protection times on the SunSmart app, to assist with the implementation of the Sun Protection Policy. If children do not have a hat, they will only be allowed to be in shaded areas. 

Children can have a spare hat for OSHC which can be left at OSHC. No caps.
