Out Of School Hours Care

OSHC News Week 6

My Time Our Place

Over the past two weeks the children have participated in activities based around the theme of water. These activities aim to engage the children in activities that enable them to build on their creativity, investigating and problem solving skills. The children have spent time creating paper jellyfish, shark puppets and building waterways in the sandpit. 

Outside the children have assisted in watering and caring for the OSHC garden as well as playing games of Marks up, soccer and chasey.

September/October Vacation Care Booklet

The September/October Vacation Care booklet is available from the schools website, the OSHC room and has been sent out via email.

Pupil Free Day

Please be aware that the school has a pupil free day on Monday 7th September, which is in week 8 of Term 3. We are asking parents to notify the service as soon as possible should you require our service for that day. For those parents who expressed interest in care for that day, no cancellations will be accepted after Monday 24th August.  Please see attached letter regarding pupil free day.

Medications

If your child requires medication please ensure that you have provided an action plan as well as the medication (asthma pump, epipen etc.) to the service. It is vital that we have access to your child’s medication at our service whilst your child is attending.

Hats

As part of our sun safety policy all children are required to wear a hat if they are playing outside. Please remind your child/children to bring their hats from their classroom if they are attending the service.

Absentees

A reminder to all parents and caregivers to contact the service on 8443 5308 if their child(ren) are no longer attending their sessions or have been collected early from school.

Dietary Requirements

At our service we aim to cater to children’s needs as much as possible, however, if your child has specific dietary requirements or does not like the food programmed for the day please pack an alternative snack or drop off food alternatives at the service.
