As we start Term 1, we want to ensure that new families starting school this year know that we are here to help them and their children settle into school. Our teams have been busy designing the perfect program to kick off the new year, focused on welcoming children into service and strengthening friendships.

To make the process easier for these families, and to answer any questions they may have about OSHC, we are also hosting free virtual parent information sessions.
