Outside School Hours Care
Bookings Information
Casual Bookings/Cancellations/Adjustments please call 9592 0994 directly. email: melissa.asmar1@gmail.com
EMAIL NOT TO BE USED TO CHANGE DAILY ATTENDANCES
EMAIL TO BE USED for changing permanent bookings, making advanced bookings/cancellations (ie holiday program, school closure days), account queries, addressing special needs, incidents that need clarification, and the like. Emails are not checked prior to a session as administrative duties are addressed off site and away from the service as our priority lies with the active supervision of children, their development and wellbeing.
Having said all of the above, if children ever find themselves confused, not knowing where they're supposed to be, please have a "back up plan" by stating they can always go to after care and together we can resolve their situation. This is an important aspect of children’s “belonging, being and becoming” which involves them learning independence, coping skills and OSHC Educators available to children for support and to provide a secure base for children as needed. (NQS 5 Circle of security)
WELCOME
This year, we welcome a number of new families to OSHC across all year levels as well as our new preps. I am sure the whole community joins me in welcoming you all to our service and I trust that your time with us is positive and enjoyable. I am certain that you will all quickly become part of our wonderful community.
Enrolment
The OSHC is a separate entity to that of the school therefore subscribes to different legislation and regulations. For those that wish to attend then an OSHC enrolment record must be completed for each child. A copy can be found on the school website under the "Community" tab, at the office or at the service.
Update information
Any change of contact details, parent circumstance or medical conditions of children is to be emailed directly to melissa.asmar1@gmail.com

CHILD CARE SUBSIDY
Some families are using care but have not yet completed their online assessment. If families do not complete this step they will not be eligible for Child Care Subsidy for care. They will also need to lodge a full claim to receive Child Care Subsidy in future.
The assessment is quick and easy to do with most information already populated by Centrelink. Follow these simple steps:
- Sign into your Centrelink online account through myGov
- Select the Complete your Child Care Subsidy assessment task
- Work through the steps to give new information and confirm your current details.
You must complete all steps in the online form, including confirming your enrolment for each of your children attending our centre. The Department of Human Services has provided this guide to help families complete the Child Care Subsidy assessment.
If you have disputed an enrolment previously, you need to go online and confirm the updated enrolment details.
