OSHC

Here at Gumnuts Heyfield Out of School Hours Care, we believe that a curious mind leads to endless learning opportunities. We offer a flexible and child led program where children can form connections, pursue passions and enhance their independence through a program that caters to their needs, interests and ideas.

This last term at Heyfield OSHC has provided our children countless opportunities to develop their independence and confidence and to establish meaningful relationships with their peers. Our program has incorporated cooking, science, group games and a variety of fine motor, gross motor and social play experiences. Cooking has definitely been a favourite. We have made milkshakes, loaded sundaes, nachos, pancakes, toasties and pizza!

This term the learning outcomes and intentions we are working towards include the children feeling confident in expressing their ideas, thoughts and reasonings through problem solving and inquiry. This can present in many ways. The children will practise and develop these skills by applying their thinking strategies to engage in situations and solve problems, whilst adapting these new skills to different situations. We are looking forward to the experiences that their curiosity, enthusiasm and interests lead to. There are endless play and leisure opportunities to guide these skills and we can’t wait to incorporate them into our program!

We also offer a Vacation Care program that is run from Maffra PS over the school holidays.
