JULY VACATION CARE RECAP

We had an amazing two weeks of July Vacation Care with our exciting Dino Theme! It was a roaring success, with multiple days seeing over 70 children joining in the fun.

 

The incursions were a huge hit, packed with hands-on activities, learning, and plenty of excitement. Our highlight was the excursion to the Melbourne Museum, where children of all ages had a blast exploring and learning about prehistoric creatures. It was both educational and fun, a perfect combination!

 

Thank you to all the families who joined us, we loved sharing these moments with your children.

 

We’re already looking ahead to the September holidays with some exciting new days planned, so keep your ears peeled!

 

NEW POLICY

 

We are currently reviewing a new policy titled "Safe Use of Digital Technologies and Online Environments." This policy is aligned with current developments and best practices within the childcare sector, ensuring we continue to provide a safe, supportive, and responsible digital environment for all children and staff.

 

The School Council will review the proposed policy at its next meeting. Pending approval, the policy will come into effect from September 1st.

 

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety and care, particularly in our use of digital tools and online resources.

 

 

OSHC SUB COMMITTEE

 

We would like to warmly invite you to join our OSHC Sub-Committee. Our sub-committee meets monthly, just before each School Council meeting, and it’s a fantastic opportunity for families to provide feedback and actively contribute to the management and future development of the OSHC program. 

 

The meetings are informal, with no titles or prior experience necessary, and provide a great chance to learn more about how the program runs and how you can help shape its direction. We typically meet on a Monday night at 6:20pm, and meetings usually run for around 40 minutes to an hour. Each month we review the Coordinator’s Report and discuss any policies currently under review. 

 

If you're interested in joining us or would simply like to find out more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’d love to have more parent voices involved and truly value your input.
