As we wrap up the year, we would like to say a huge thank you to our incredible children, families, and school community for making this year so special. It has been a year filled with creativity, laughter, learning, and unforgettable experiences. Together, we have explored exciting themes such as Science, Sustainability, Halloween, Secret Garden, and Recycling, engaged in hands-on experiments like bubbling cauldrons and frog pond investigations, built cubbies from recycled materials, danced our way through K-Pop Demon Hunters, and expressed our creativity through crafts, paper mâché, and imaginative play. Our holiday programs brought even more excitement, with memorable excursions—including the highlight Gumbuya World super excursion—that created moments we know the children will carry with them for years to come. None of this would be possible without the ongoing support, trust, and collaboration from our families and school staff. We are so proud of everything the children have achieved this year and cannot wait to see what next year has in store, with even more adventures, learning, and fun ahead. Thank you for being part of such an amazing year—we’re already excited for what’s to come!

We will be continuing to take donation next year -
In honour of Recycling Week, we have been inspired to expand our sustainability efforts and invite our wonderful families to get involved. We are now accepting donations of cardboard boxes, dress-ups, craft materials, and any clean, reusable items you no longer need. What might seem like trash at home could become our next great creation at OSHC—whether it’s a cubby, a costume, a STEM build, or an inventive art project. We’d love to give your unwanted items a new lease on life and continue encouraging the children to learn about recycling, reusing, and caring for our environment. Thank you for supporting our sustainable play!

Just a quick reminder that the service opens at 7 am. If you arrive early, you unfortunately will not be allowed in until 7 am. Sorry for any inconvenience :)
Please note we do not collect students from Year One and above. Please remind your child/ren of after school 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 two is detailed below:
Permanent teaching staff
Coordinator - Lily Hartley
2IC - Oriane Cleary 🤩
Rotating casual educators - Kurtis, Fatima and Bahareh
Holiday program coordinators- Lily & Oriane
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.
In order to run an effective and personalised 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.

As part of our commitment to keeping all the children safe in the sun, we’d like to remind families about our TheirCare SunSmart Policy. With the warmer weather upon us, it’s essential that all children wear a broad-brimmed hat when playing outside.
To make sure every child is protected, we ask that children bring their own hat each day. If you’d prefer, you can leave a spare hat at TheirCare, clearly labeled with your child’s name, so it’s always ready for outdoor play. We do provide sunscreen but if your child has a sensitivity we do recommend bring their own.
Thank you for helping us keep all the children sun-safe! If you have any questions about our SunSmart policy, feel free to reach out.
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.
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.
