This term has been filled with wonderful moments of growth and connection! We were thrilled to receive a Resonate 10 Award, thanks to the support of our amazing families. It’s been fantastic to see so many families engaged in the activities and experiences their children have been part of.
We focused on building friendships across all year levels, starting with Valentine’s Day kindness, followed by Pet Week where we learned about pets’ lives. The children explored global landmarks, celebrated autumn with creative leaf manes, and wrapped up the term with Harmony Week, promoting kindness and connection through thoughtful activities.
We’ve also empowered the children to take an active role in shaping their day-to-day activities, leading group times, games, and sharing their ideas in a reflections journal. These experiences have helped foster creativity, well-being, and positive social contributions.
Thank you for your continued support this term, and we look forward to more exciting adventures next term!
Playing with lights has been so much fun. The theme of our room has been disco and we have definitely been discoing it up. Our clean ups consist of major fun and dance and the disco lights and balls have been the activity of choice! Even creating a doll house disco for our stuffed animals.🪩
😝🎂On March first we celebrate Mr Kitch's birthday. The children made amazing cards and we snuck into his office to leave them for him but he unfortunately caught us but we make it work. watch the video here :

Please note we do not collect students from Year One and above. Please remind your child/ren of afterschool care when you drop them off in the morning.
Foundation students do get dropped off and picked up for Term One and Two but come Term Three, a list is sent of the children attending to Mrs Damn and Mrs Peters. The children walk themselves over with educators supervising the basketball court.
Our staffing structure for Semester One is detailed below:
Permanent coordinator - Lily
Permanent educator - Oriane
Rotating casual educators - Samara, Kurtis, Charlie and Fatima
Holiday program coordinators- Lily, Harry & Chloe
Staffing arrangements often change due to the needs of the service and growing numbers, there will be some new faces, but we understand consistency is important in building connections and creating a strong sense of wellbeing for our children.
If you have a child in Foundation or wish to start attending our fantastic program in 2025 you can register at TheirCare now. Booking is not available as of yet, but I will keep you updated. It is always best to book for OSCH as far in advance as possible, to ensure we have the proper staffing ratio needed for the safety of our service.
In order to run an effective and personalized program, we rely on community involvement. The easiest way for us to ensure we are catering to the needs of your children and family is through suggestions and feedback. Please don't hesitate to speak to me directly or leave a note in our feedback box with any concerns or ideas for the service. We love hearing anything that can help us exceed.
In order to access the OSHC service, families must register prior to booking. During the registration process, you will be asked to provide details such as emergency contacts, medical requirements, dietary needs, etc.
While booking, please remember that last-minute booking can create a hard time for staffing. Please try to book 24 hours in advance, and if needed, call the service for last-minute bookings to ensure space is available.
