OSHC at Marion

At Marion OSHC we are committed to providing quality learning opportunities, delivered in a safe, secure and stimulating environment.

 

During OSHC this term we will continue focusing on reminders about sustainability eg. recycling and also on the environment.

 

Our goal for this term is show each other respect.

 

The December 2023/ January 2024 vacation program is now available in the OSHC room and also on the school website.  So far this term in OSHC we have continued the sensory activities with slime and also creamy aqua-faba. The children are really enjoying these activities and the added twist is that one of the children is being picked each week to lead the activity. We have been looking after the veggie garden during after school care sessions and the children enjoy the responsibility of watering the garden with the hose and picking the vegetables. Other programmed activities include creative sand pit play, nature play and ball games on the oval , basketball, creative painting and mystery art , construction, board games, bubble blowing, gym games, hama beads and also gel pen art with our donated supplies from a parent who used the program five years ago. I purchased a ten in one game set and I have been teaching the children how to play Chinese checkers. Our home corner has also been very popular with lots of imaginative play.

 

Parents are welcome to offer suggestions for programming ideas and to participate on our OSHC committee which meets twice a term. Being a member of this committee gives families the opportunity to have even more input into the program and if anyone is interested in becoming involved please come and talk to Guy or myself.
