Out of School Hours Care

The out of hours school care program at Lyndhurst Primary School was established in 2011 and has been built up to the successful program that meets the needs of the children and families in a fun, caring and safe environment. The program is currently run by Camp Australia.

Out of School Hours Care My Time – Or Place “Framework for School Aged Care” in Australia aims to provide school-aged children in Out of School Hours Care throughout Australia, with high-quality care that best promotes their learning and development while recognising the importance of social interactions and recreation.

The broad objectives of the Framework are to ensure that the children in OSHC have stimulating, positive experiences and interactions that foster their self-esteem and confidence. It aims to extend and enrich children’s wellbeing and development in school care settings.

​

Working in collaboration with children and in partnerships with families, educators use the Learning Outcomes to guide their planning for children’s wellbeing and learning. In order to engage children actively in learning, educators identify children’s strengths and interests, choose appropriate strategies and design the environments.

Camp Australia Enrolment

As 2020 approaches, we look forward to welcoming new families. Starting school is a major milestone for them and this transition process can be both exciting and challenging for children.

To help families make this new experience as comfortable and positive for their children, we have developed a new leaflet that explains what OSHC is and how it can support these families in settling in.

Our new Parent Information Leaflet includes information about OSHC, tailored programming, and how to register. We have attached a digital copy for your convenience.

Families can prepare for the new school year as OSHC bookings for 2020 are now open. Registration is free for families interested in attending our care. They simply have to log in and register through our Parent Portal and start booking.

As we operate a childcare service governed by the Education and Care National Law and Regulations, we can only operate our services within Educator to child ratios and licensed space. So, we recommend families to book in advance to secure their children’s spot. This also gives us time to staff and support our service to meet the needs of the children in our care.
