Pupil Free Day
As you are aware we have a pupil free day on Friday 21st August 2015. Please indicate whether you require care for your child/ren for that day. We will require a minimum of 15 bookings to operate the service. We will need to know by Friday 14th August and you will be notified on Monday 17th August if the service will be operating (letter attached).
Active After School
If your child is going to attend an after school activity please notify the service in advanced. If our educators have not been notified by a parent/caregiver, children will not be allowed to leave the service.

A friendly reminder that all families who have outstanding fees for Term 2 will be required to finalize their account by the end of Week 3 to avoid any further action.

OSHC Permanent & Casual Bookings
I would like to remind Parent/Caregivers about our booking and cancellation policies. Our service offers two types of bookings, permanent and casual.
Permanent bookings are best suited to families who can ensure a consistent routine booking of the same sessions each week from the beginning of term to the end of term. Our service operates with a ‘2 weeks cancellation notice’ Policy to ensure an appropriate ratio of educators as rosters are written based on the number of children booked for each session. This policy is also applicable to ‘swapping’ sessions; one session cannot be exchanged for another without charge due to staffing arrangements.
Also please ensure if your child/ren require a permanent booking you are required to fill out a ‘permanent booking’ form (bookings do not roll over from previous terms or years.
Parents/Caregivers who cannot commit to a term long booking due to work or study commitments are encouraged to make a casual booking. Casual bookings are best suited for families that require different days/ sessions rather than the same booking each week. Casual bookings still operate under the same ‘2 weeks cancellation notice’ Policy.
