Fee Update – Effective 17th November 2025

The Governing Council has recently reviewed our Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) fees to ensure we can continue providing a high-quality service in the face of rising operational costs.

While we understand that there was a fee increase on 1st July 2025, ongoing increases in staffing and resource costs mean a further adjustment is now required. These changes will take effect from Monday, 17th November 2025.

New OSHC Fees

Session Type	New Fee
Before School Care	$14.07
After School Care	$25.01
Pupil Free Day / School Closure / VC Home Day	$59.39
Vacation Care Incursion Day	$64.60
Vacation Care Excursion Day	$75.02

The Worker Retention Grant scheme places limits on how much services can increase fees. Within these guidelines, our Governing Council has set modest adjustments to ensure we can keep pace with rising costs while maintaining a sustainable, high-quality program.

The Council also decided to leave the cent amounts unrounded, as every cent helps support the continued operation of our OSHC service. With most families paying digitally and the Child Care Subsidy automatically applied, these small decimal amounts will have minimal impact on families.

We will also be applying late and no booking fees to Vacation Care bookings as follows:

A Late Booking fee of $5 per child for any booking received after the booking deadline (2 weeks before Vacation Care commences)
A No Booking Fee of $10 for any children that arrive at Vacation Care with no booking (will only be accepted if there are places available)
A Cancellation deadline of one week (7 days) which will be strictly adhered to.
The same rules as OSHC regarding absences.

We truly appreciate your understanding and ongoing support. Our OSHC team remains committed to providing a safe, caring, and engaging environment for all children before and after school, and during vacation care.

If you have any questions, please contact our OSHC Director or the school office.
