Out Of School Hours Care

OSHC News Week 4

OSHC Menu

As fees have resumed the service is able to provide food during the term (breakfast, fruit platters and afternoon snacks). The service aims to ensure that all food allergies and dietary requirements are considered, however, please check the OSHC menu and provide a food alternative for your child if they do not eat the specified menu item for the day that they are attending.

 

My Time Our Place

It's excellent to see how well the students are settling into Term 3. They regularly arrive at OSHC excited to tell educators about their day at school. In the OSHC room, we continued with our “Colours of the Rainbow” program theme, with the students participating in a range of activities including, painting, colouring and using creative thinking to create colourful food charts. Outdoors, the students applied the program theme to an outdoor nature scavenger hunt. They also participated in active outdoor activities with educators. These included football, soccer and play time in the sandpit.

 

 

July Vacation Care Newsletter

The July Vacation care newsletter is available from the schools website, the OSHC room and has been sent out via email.

 

Pupil Free Day

Please be aware that the school has a pupil free day on Monday 7th September, which is in week 8 of Term 3. We are asking parents to notify the service as soon as possible should you require our service for that day. For those parents who expressed interest in care for that day, no cancellations will be accepted after Monday 24th August.  Please see attached letter regarding pupil free day.

 

Medications

If your child requires medication please ensure that you have provided an action plan as well as the medication (asthma pump, epipen etc.) to the service. It is vital that we have access to your child’s medication at our service whilst your child is attending.

 

Hats

As part of our sun safety policy all children are required to wear a hat if they are playing outside. Please remind your child/children to bring their hats from their classroom if they are attending the service.

 

Absentees

A reminder to all parents and caregivers to contact the service on 8443 5308 if their child(ren) are no longer attending their sessions or have been collected early from school.

 

Dietary Requirements

At our service we aim to cater to children’s needs as much as possible, however, if your child has specific dietary requirements or does not like the food programmed for the day please pack an alternative snack or drop off food alternatives at the service.
