Dear Oatlands Primary School Families,

As part of our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality programs and opportunities for our students and families, Oatlands Primary School has recently undertaken a comprehensive tender process to review our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program.

Following this process, we are delighted to announce that TeamKids has been appointed as our new OSHC provider. TeamKids will commence operations with a Vacation Care program from Monday 12th January, followed by Before and After School Care services starting when the term begins and students return on Thursday 29th January.

We are confident that this new partnership will deliver an exceptional experience for all students and families.

In the coming weeks, families will be invited to attend information sessions and community events, including an online Parent Information Evening (on Wednesday 26th November at 7pm) and a Free Coffee Morning, to meet the TeamKids team and learn more about their programs. Please keep an eye on Compass and other school communications for dates and details.
