Good morning families,

I have received a number of enquiries regarding our OSHC operating hours over the Christmas and New Year period.

Please note the following important dates:

• Our last day of operation for 2025 will be Friday, 19th December (close of business).
• Re-enrolment notifications for 2026 will be sent out after the 19th.
• OSHC will re-open for the January Holiday Program on Monday, 5th January 2026. We will run a three-week holiday program from 5th January to 23rd January 2026.

OSHC will then re-open for Term 1 on the first day children return to school.

This closure period allows us to complete a deep clean of the service, undertake further staff development training, and prepare for the year ahead.

Holiday Program information and booking details will be released in the coming weeks.

Please also note that from January 2026, bookings will align with each child’s 2026 timetable. For example, Kinder families will be able to book care based on their child’s Kinder schedule for 2026.

Upcoming Curriculum Day - Friday 19th December - VAC offered (8:00am - 5:30pm)

Bookings can be made by emailing oshc@minersrestps.vic.edu.au.

Kind regards,

Tash

OSHC Coordinator and Team
