OSHClub News
Welcome back!
We hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable break! We’re thrilled to be back and kick off Term 3 with fresh energy and excitement.
Over the holidays, we had a fantastic time on our excursions! We explored the Melbourne Museum, where students were amazed by the interactive exhibits and fascinating displays of science, history, and nature. We also visited the Matildas’ Soccer Training Base Camp, which was a hit with our budding athletes – getting an inside look at where some of Australia’s best train was truly inspiring! To top it off, we enjoyed a trip to the movies to see Elio, a heartwarming and adventurous film that had everyone talking on the way home.
We’re looking forward to a fun and engaging term ahead. Don’t forget to keep an eye on upcoming events and weekly highlights!
Staffing Update
We’re also excited to welcome Amelia to our team this term! Amelia will be working alongside Sophie and Leyla, and will be supporting our service while Sophie is away on her final university placement (YAY!) for five weeks, starting Week 2 of Term 3. We’re thrilled to have Amelia on board and know the children will enjoy getting to know her. Please find her staff Bio below!
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.
Enrolling Your Child
For new enrolments, please go to https://www.oshclub.com.au/register/
A helpful video for navigating the iParent Portal and completing the enrolment process can be found on this page.
Please note: CRN numbers and all birth dates must be entered correctly if you wish to claim the Child Care Subsidy. CCS applications are submitted automatically to Centrelink when new enrolments are actioned.
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.
