Wominjeka Everyone,

🌸 Spring School Holiday Program

Our Spring School Holiday Program was a great success! Despite a few rainy days, the children enjoyed a fantastic range of activities, excursions and fun experiences.

One of the highlights was our Don Bosco excursion, where the children travelled together using public transport. It was a wonderful opportunity to build independence, confidence and teamwork while enjoying a fun day out.

Throughout the program, the children enjoyed African Drums, Circus with Tara, Arts with Andrew and crafts, cooking, footy, movies, a magic show and our exciting excursions to Don Bosco and Werribee Zoo and movies .

A big thank you to all our staff, families and children for making the program such a wonderful success. We truly appreciate everyone's support, enthusiasm and participation. Most importantly, thank you to the children for bringing so much fun, laughter and energy to the holidays! 🌈

☀️Be SunSmart This Term! ☀️

As the warmer months approach, it’s the perfect time to remind everyone about the importance of being SunSmart. At OSHC, we’re committed to keeping children safe while they enjoy the outdoors.

Our SunSmart practices include:

Wearing a broad-brimmed hat when outside.
Applying SPF 30+ (or higher) sunscreen before outdoor play and reapplying every two hours.
Encouraging children to seek shade during peak UV times.
Wearing sun-protective clothing that covers shoulders and arms.
Reminding everyone to bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated.

We kindly ask families to make sure children arrive each day with a SunSmart hat and to apply sunscreen before coming to the program. Sunscreen is also available at the service for reapplication.

Together, we can help children build healthy SunSmart habits for life while still having fun in the sunshine! 🌞

👕Spare Clothes Reminder 👖

We’ve had a few little oops moments lately with some of our younger children nothing major, just the result of getting a bit too busy having fun! While these incidents don’t happen often, it’s a good reminder to please pack a spare set of clothes in your child’s bag, just in case.

We also ask families to return any OSHC spare clothes that may have been borrowed. Our supply is running low, and we’d love to have them back for the next little adventurer who needs them.

👕 Clothing Donations

We would also greatly appreciate any donations of children’s pants/shorts and T-shirts in sizes 5–9 years. If you have any good-quality clothing that your family no longer needs, we would be very grateful for your support.

Thank you for helping us support our children and community! 💛
