Dear Parents, Carers and Students of Chilwell PS,

After great consideration, I have made the decision to conclude my coordination role of Chilwell Primary School’s OSHC program at the end of the school year.

I did not make this decision lightly but it is the right decision for me at this time and I am grateful the school have been supportive of this decision.

I have been the co-ordinator of the OSHC program for 7 years and involved in the program for over 10 years. I have loved every second of it, especially watching the children I have cared for grow and thrive.

I have known I am a valued member of the Chilwell PS staff and I will miss the school and the community. I look forward to a great end of the year as I prepare to say farewell to Chilwell Primary School.

I hope that the bonds and connections I have made will continue beyond the school and families will feel comfortable to say hello when we meet in the community.

Kind regards,

Cheryl Minett

Chilwell PS OSHC Co-ordinator

The Chilwell staff, School Council and school community are so incredibly grateful to Cheryl for her commitment and leadership of the OSHC program for many, many years and we’re very sad to see her finish in this role.

Cheryl informed leadership and the School Council recently of her decision and actions have been taken to plan for the changes to OSHC leadership and management for 2023 and beyond.

This is currently being finalised and will be communicated with you in the very near future. As the year draws to an end, we’ll have the opportunity to thank Cheryl for her work and commitment to Chilwell PS and wish her well for the future. She will certainly be missed by us all.

Regards,

Sarah Jeffreys

Dear Families

By now all families should have download the new Xplor app as this is how we access all things OSHC related eg: enrolments, sign in/out, bookings, Debit Success - direct debit payments. If you have not yet download this app please do so ASAP then text me so i can forward you an invite to join to complete the process. I have repeatedly sent this invite to everyone as it is only available for 7 days.

As previously advertised Chilwell OSHC is NO LONGER using Qkr as a form of payment, please if you have this app in your phone DELETE it.

Childcare Subsidy System (CCSS)

CCSS is a form of fee relief available to families through Centrelink. Child care benefit works much like a Medicare system with the rebate, the percentage you are given by the family assistance office goes in to an equation that is processed by the computer and then gives out your fee for a session.

Payment of Fees

All fees are to be paid to the OSHC program or at the Chilwell Primary School Office. Cash and Eftpos is also available. Accounts are processed weekly and payment is appreciated weekly. Fees must be fully paid before the end of each term.
