Their Care

Before School Care | After School Care | School Holiday Care

We are excited to announce that we have now partnered with an independent Outside of School Hours Care (OSHC) provider called TheirCare.

TheirCare provides a stimulating and safe environment for all children. During sessions, children develop life-skills, friendships, confidence, and creativity through play-based programs.

We look forward to welcoming TheirCare to the Banyan Fields Primary School community in 2025.
