Our Fortnight in Review
We’ve only just started the term but it’s already been super busy! Children have begun creating posters for our DIY recycled paper making box and we have enjoyed watching children practice their concert items. During craft activities, children made sock puppets and have enjoyed relaxing whilst they experimented with water colour paints.

New Look OSHC Statements
In the lead up to the implementation of the new Child Care Subsidy (CCS), our software provider made some improvements to our statements. These changes are designed to help parents fully understand their statements and provide a logical overview of the care at our service. Importantly, the statement now includes some new government requirements as part of the implementation of CCS. For an overview of the new statements, please CLICK/TAP HERE.
Please note your first statement for this term will be issued on Friday 27 July.
Cold Weather
Unless we have high winds and rain, children will still be given an option of playing outside at OSHC. Please ensure your child has appropriate clothing, such as an extra jacket, that they can put on during their time at OSHC.
