OSHClub News
To wrap up Week 9, we celebrated STEM Friday Funday with a hands-on Science Day! The children had a blast making exploding bags, observing colour mixing with walking water, and getting creative (and competitive!) while building marshmallow towers. It was a day full of curiosity, problem-solving, and lots of laughter!
This week, we’ve continued the fun with colourful sand art, delicious curry puffs during cooking club, and a variety of creative crafts that have kept everyone engaged and smiling.
With the colder weather settling in, we’ve also been making great use of the school hall for more energetic group games, ensuring the children stay active and warm while having fun indoors.
We’re loving the energy and creativity everyone is bringing each day!
Holiday HQ - World Explorers !
Get ready to explore the world these holidays with our exciting Holiday HQ: WorldExplorers program! Running from Monday 7th July to Friday 18th July, each day offers a new adventure packed with hands-on activities, delicious cooking, creative crafts, active play, and exciting excursions!
Travel through time and place - from Ancient Egypt and Asia to England, the Arctic, and even outer space with our Disney’s Elio movie excursion. Get creative with Safari Cameras, experiment in our Science Labs, and cook up a storm with international flavours. Go wild at the Melbourne Museum & IMAX, kick goals in our Mini-Roos Soccer clinic, and finish the holidays with a Pilot for the Day experience!
With themed days, incursions, excursions, and plenty of indoor fun to keep warm during winter, it’s going to be two weeks of non-stop fun and learning.

Family Suggestions
At OSHClub, we deeply value our families and community and would love to incorporate more family voices into our program. Whether it's a cherished family recipe we can cook together, a creative art activity, or any other idea, we would greatly appreciate your input!
Feel free to share your suggestions in our journal, located in the parent sign-in area, and we’ll do our best to bring them to life. Your contributions help make our program even more special!
Drop off/Pick up
Parents/ guardians are required to sign children in for Rise and Shine sessions and sign children out of Stay and Play sessions using the service iPad. Please ensure you are coming to the room when dropping your children to Rise then Shine or holiday program. Please do not let them walk by themselves.

Bookings
Online bookings for Rise then Shine and Stay and Play sessions close 24 hours in advance. Online bookings for the Holiday Program and Curriculum Days close 5 days in advance.
If online bookings have closed, and you would like to make or cancel a booking, please SMS the program phone on 0427 144 945.
Cancellation of Bookings
IMPORTANT: If your child is booked in for an afternoon Stay and Play session and that booking is no longer required, please cancel the booking on the iParent Portal. If you are cancelling on the day, please contact us on the program phone before 3:15pm.
We are responsible for all children booked into our care. If a child does not arrive after school care when booked in to attend, we will need to confirm the whereabouts of the child by contacting parents/guardians and emergency contacts. If we cannot successfully do this, it then becomes a missing child incident.
As you can imagine, this can be very stressful!
Thanks for your cooperation by notifying us of any Stay and Play absences.
