After School Care - Community OSH

Dear Families,

I am writing to provide an important update regarding the provision of After School Care (OSHC) at our school in 2027.

Following a review of the current OSHC program, including enrolment and attendance patterns, the level of demand from our school community and the funding available to support the program, we have been advised that After School Care will not be operating at the school in 2027.

While we recognise that OSHC is an important service for a few families, the current level of participation indicates that there is not a significant or sustained demand for After School Care within our school community. Unfortunately, the funding available to support the program is also no longer sufficient to make the service viable at the current level of attendance.

We understand that this decision may be disappointing for families who have used the service and relied on it for their children’s care. The decision has not been made lightly, and we have carefully considered the needs of our school community and the sustainability of the program.

The current OSHC program will continue to operate as usual for the remainder of 2026.

I would like to thank the families who have supported the OSHC program and the educators who have provided care and support to our students.

Thank you for your understanding.

Leonie Fitzgerald
