IMPORTANT - Please message the program phone ASAP if your child/ren are booked in for an After School Care session, but will not be attending. 

We need to account for every child booked into our care.  If a child does not arrive to After School Care in a timely manner our process is as follows:

1. Check school attendance with the school office
2. Call and text parents
3. Call and text emergency contacts
4. Escalate to a missing child incident and contact police

Your cooperation in letting us know in advance if a booking is no longer required is hugely appreciated. 

SUNHATS AND SUNSCREEN

During Term 4 and Term 1, all children will be required to wear a hat when playing outdoors if the UV rating is at 3 or higher. Please ensure your child has a sunhat with them when attending OSHClub.

As school hats are often stored in children's classroom tubs overnight, please feel free to pop a spare sunhat into your child's bag for OSHClub. They are welcome to leave their hat at OSHClub or keep it with them in in their bags. 

We provide sunscreen, which children will be asked to apply before going outdoors. Children can also bring their own sunscreen if need be.

OSHclub news:

This fortnight children have been learning through collaboration, engaging creatively with natural and processed materials to extend their skills and thinking.  

Sewing has been a popular activity all fortnight. Initially, children were engaged in a kitset sewing activity, which allowed a sense of achievement for all ages.  Many children have extended upon the skills they have used in this activity to create and make their own designs from felt. The results are amazing!

During the first week of term we introduced a set of ten headphones to the

program. Children are free to use them to find themselves a quiet, calm space amongst our sometimes noisy and busy environment. They are proving to be a popular resource.

What we have been doing and making:

Activities for this fortnight:
