🌸 Calling All Creative Parents – Help Us Decorate for the Spring Magic Market! 🌸

We’d love for parents to join us on Monday and Wednesday afternoons as we prepare for the Spring Magic Market. Together with the children, we’ll be making beautiful decorations using wool, sticks, and ribbons to bring colour and magic to the event!

Parents will need a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC).
While you’re volunteering, your children can attend OSHC free of charge.
To register, please send us an email at oshc.brusnwick.nw.ps@education.vic.gov.au.
Please let us know in advance if you’d like to take part so we can organise staffing if needed.

Your creativity and energy will make the Spring Magic Market extra special—we can’t wait to see what we create together! 🌟

Spring Magic Market – Wool Donations Needed! 🌸✨

As the Spring Magic Market is fast approaching, we are getting ready to add some colour and fun to the event! We are asking families for wool donations so the children can make pompoms to be used as decorations.

This will be a fun and creative activity where the children can take part in the preparations, feel connected to our community, and enjoy the magic spirit of this special event.

Any wool donations—big or small—will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us make the Spring Magic Market extra magical!

📌 Important: No Personal Devices at OSHC – Effective 1 September

To help keep all children safe and focused during their time at OSHC, we kindly remind families that personal devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and smartwatches with cameras are not permitted.

👉 Please note: This change is compulsory from 1 September, in line with the National Model Code and the new legislation 168 (2)(ha).

If a child brings a device, it will be safely stored and returned to their family at the end of the session. This forms part of our existing ICT, Television, and Mobile Policy, which is currently being updated to align with these new requirements around child safety and the use of personal electronic devices.

Here’s how we manage personal devices during OSHC:

At roll call, children will hand their device to the educator in charge.
Devices will be placed in a secure tub.
The tub will be locked away in the OSHC office.
Devices will be returned at the end of the session by the educator in charge of the middle room.

We appreciate your support and cooperation in keeping OSHC a safe, respectful, and child-focused environment.
