OSHClub News
Week 9
We had a fantastic and energetic Week 9 at OSHClub as we made the most of the last of our summer weather and began transitioning into autumn!
Our Breakfast Club kept everyone fuelled and ready for the day with a delicious variety including pancakes, honey oat bowls, apple and cinnamon muffins, blueberry waffles, and refreshing mixed berry smoothie pops.
In the afternoons, our Snack Squad served up some crowd favourites such as spaghetti, butter potato curry with rice, tacos, nachos, and potato gems with sweet potato fries, there was something for everyone to enjoy!
Children explored their creativity through a wide range of hands-on experiences. Highlights included finger painting, creating clay foods, engaging in playdough sensory play, designing sticker mosaic artworks, and making dried pasta jewellery. We also experimented with painting water patterns and got messy with a fun and exciting Oobleck science experiment!
Our physical activities kept everyone active and engaged, with dodgeball, group skipping, parachute games, nature walks, and a DIY obstacle course. Children also enjoyed footy, a variety of playground games, and finished off the week with a mini water fight, a perfect way to say goodbye to our summer activities and welcome the cooler autumn days ahead.
It’s been a wonderful week full of creativity, teamwork, and fun, we can't wait for the last week of term filled with all our Easter fun!

Autumn Holiday Program
The Autumn Holiday Program for MOUNT PLEASANT ROAD VIC OSHCLUB is now available.
For your convenience, please find the schedule below. Alternatively, visit our website and search for your closest service for the most up-to-date program details.
To secure a place for your child, please book now:
Please note: When booking via the Kidsoft portal, surcharges for special experience days (Excursions, Special Events, and Make & Take Days) may not yet be visible. You can still proceed with your booking for these days on Kidsoft - your child will be booked into the special experience, and the applicable surcharge will be automatically added once the Kidsoft system is updated.
To help you and your child prepare for Holiday HQ we've created a guide you can find here: https://www.oshclub.com.au/holiday-programs/how-to-prepare-for-holiday-hq/'
We are also now providing Breakfast during Holiday Program, from 7:00am until 8:15am. Please still pack morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea for your children, as well as a hat and drink bottle!

A helpful video for navigating the iParent Portal and completing the enrolment process can be found on this page.
Please note: CRN numbers and all birth dates must be entered correctly if you wish to claim the Child Care Subsidy. CCS applications are submitted automatically to Centrelink when new enrolments are actioned.
Bookings
Online bookings for Rise then Shine and Stay and Play sessions close 24 hours in advance. Online bookings for the Holiday Program and Curriculum Days close 5 days in advance.
If online bookings have closed, and you would like to make or cancel a booking, please SMS the program phone on 0427 144 945.
Cancellation of Bookings
IMPORTANT: If your child is booked in for an afternoon Stay and Play session and that booking is no longer required, please cancel the booking on the iParent Portal. If you are cancelling on the day, please contact us on the program phone before 3:25pm to avoid a non-notified absence fee of $20.00 per child.
We are responsible for all children booked into our care. If a child does not arrive after school care when booked in to attend, we will need to confirm the whereabouts of the child by contacting parents/guardians and emergency contacts. If we cannot successfully do this, it then becomes a missing child incident.
As you can imagine, this can be very stressful!
Thanks for your cooperation by notifying us of any Stay and Play absences.
