🌸 🏇Melbourne Cup Public Holiday – OSHC Closure Notice
A reminder to all families that Tuesday, 3rd of November is the Melbourne Cup Public Holiday, and OSHC will be closed on this day.
Please also note that Monday, 2nd November will be a closure day for OSHC, and the service will not operate. We kindly ask families to make alternative care arrangements for their children on this day.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding and support.
☀️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! 🌞
👕 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! 💛
