We’ve had an amazing time in After School Care recently, exploring different themes and diving into some fun, hands-on activities! Our recent weeks have been full of creativity, learning, and adventures. Here’s a recap of what we’ve been up to:
Pet Week: Our furry friends took centre stage during Pet Week! The children had a blast creating pet-themed crafts, learning about responsible pet care, and exploring different types of animals. We even had some exciting discussions about the importance of kindness and responsibility when looking after pets. Everyone had the chance to share their pet stories, and we learned a lot about the different creatures that make great companions!
Autumn Week: During Autumn Week, we embraced the changing season by exploring everything that makes autumn so special. The children enjoyed nature walks, collecting beautiful fallen leaves, and creating autumn-inspired art. We also learned about the seasonal changes in nature and how animals prepare for the cooler months.
Jungle Week: Our journey into the jungle was an exciting adventure during Jungle Week! The children explored the diverse world of jungle animals, learning about their habitats and the importance of rainforests in our ecosystem. Activities included making animal masks, crafting jungle-themed art, and ended the week with a massive party. It was a week full of imagination and fun as we discovered the wonders of the jungle together!
Each week brought a new set of exciting experiences and learning opportunities. We look forward to continuing our adventures and discovering more themes in the weeks to come. Stay tuned for more fun in After School Care!
Playing with lights has been so much fun. The themes of our room has been disco and we have definitely been discoing it up. Our clean ups consist of major fun and dance and the disco lights and balls have been the activity of choice! Even creating a doll house disco for our stuffed animals.

Staffing arrangements often change due to the needs of the service and growing numbers, there will be some new faces, but we understand consistency is important in building connections and creating a strong sense of wellbeing for our children.
If you have a child in Foundation or wish to start attending our fantastic program in 2025 you can register at TheirCare now. Booking is not available as of yet, but I will keep you updated. It is always best to book for OSCH as far in advance as possible, to ensure we have the proper staffing ratio needed for the safety of our service.
In order to run an effective and personalized program, we rely on community involvement. The easiest way for us to ensure we are catering to the needs of your children and family is through suggestions and feedback. Please don't hesitate to speak to me directly or leave a note in our feedback box with any concerns or ideas for the service. We love hearing anything that can help us exceed.
In order to access the OSHC service, families must register prior to booking. During the registration process, you will be asked to provide details such as emergency contacts, medical requirements, dietary needs, etc.
While booking, please remember that last-minute booking can create a hard time for staffing. Please try to book 24 hours in advance, and if needed, call the service for last-minute bookings to ensure space is available.
