OSHC at Marion

At Marion OSHC we are committed to providing quality learning opportunities, delivered in a safe, secure and stimulating environment.

Our goal for this term is 'Be Kind in OSHC'.

In Vacation Care the activities were really enjoyed by the children. The trip to Glenthorne Park was very exciting with lots to do and a bbq lunch. The science experiments, bubble mania with giant bubbles, balloon activities and survivor day gave the children lots of varied activities to suit all age groups and abilities. The incursions were fun, particularly the hip hop lesson with all children joining in.

In OSHC we are doing lots of outside and physical play on the oval (soccer) the playground (nature play, tennis on the courts, basketball, gym games, mini soccer on the grassed areas and creative play on the playground area. Other activities will include painting, box construction, beading, making playdough, Hama beads, whiteboard drawings and daily sharing of afternoon news. This week’s specialty menu items are jelly, frozen yoghurt, custard, cinnamon rolls and healthy brownies. 

Parents are welcome to offer suggestions for programming ideas and to participate on our OSHC committee which meets twice a term. Being a member of this committee gives families the opportunity to have even more input into the program and if anyone is interested in becoming involved please come and talk to Guy or myself.
