OSHClub News
We’ve had a fantastic few weeks here at OSHClub, filled with creativity, fun, and community spirit. Our Winter Wonderland Day was a magical success! The children embraced the chilly vibes by creating intricate paper snowflakes, sculpting adorable clay snowmen, and enjoying delicious warm hot chocolates – the perfect winter treat.
We’re so proud of our budding bakers and generous community. Our Dream Run Bake Sale has been going strong, raising funds for a great cause while filling the room with the sweet scent of homemade goodies. Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far!
We’ve also been focusing on wellbeing through guided mindfulness sessions, including yoga and calm breathing activities. Our indoor group games in the hall have kept us moving and building friendships even on rainy days.
The children have been creating beautiful mosaics, soothing wind chimes, and imaginative recycled crafts – showcasing how creativity and sustainability go hand in hand.
We’re so proud of the children’s enthusiasm, kindness, and teamwork across all these experiences.
Smith's Family Dream Run
This week we also continued our Smith Family Dream Run fundraising! The Smith Family is a national children’s charity that helps young Australians in need to succeed at school, by providing things like school supplies, learning support, and mentoring. Throughout June, we’ll be hosting three bake-and-sell stalls each week to raise money for this important cause. The children had a blast baking brownies for our first stall and loved sharing their treats with the community. We’re already looking forward to the next ones! Be sure to stop by, show your support, and enjoy some delicious goodies made by the kids.

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

A helpful video for navigating the iParent Portal and completing the enrolment process can be found on this page.

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.
