REMINDERS AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION
Fee Increase for 2019 – there will be a $1 increase to ASC fees only as of the start of Term 3. This increase is to enable the program to employee a person to manage the accounts more efficiently and chase up outstanding payments and follow procedures for this. The new ASC rate will be $25 permanent and $30 for casual bookings. We have left the BSC and Vacation Care fees at current rates for the rest of this year.
Keep your eye out for direct Debit forms coming out in the next 2 weeks
We are hoping to have this payment plan in place by the end of the term.
We will also have electronic sign in starting during the vacation care program. This will make drop off and pick-ups much easier for families once we have it all in place
Please bear with us while we get everyone onto the new system.
Vacation Care booking forms have been emailed out to current OSHC Families. If you have not received a booking form or are interested in joining OSHC these holidays, please see the attached Vacation Care booking form and remember to also come and collect a full enrolment form if you haven’t used OSHC before.
