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

The April vacation care program was a lot of fun especially the excursion to the Beerenberg Café, Melba’s chocolate factory and the playground at Mt. Barker. At Beerenberg the children did some shopping and purchased strawberries, jams and honey, as well as the crowd favourite ice-cream in fancy cones. We had a crazy hair and nail day with lots of fun creations. Bug catching was also a favourite. Easter egg hunt, cooking and craft was very popular with the children. Game day was so much fun especially the Pictionary challenge.

The July Vacation Care program will be available in week 3 and will be on the school website, at the front desk, in the OSHC room, in the newsletter and sent out to all families via email. Be on the lookout for that one. This will be available on the school website, at the Front Office, in the OSHC room, in the newsletter and sent out to all families via email.
