Making and Doing at OSHClub
We have had fun making slime from Elmer's glue. This involved trail and error as we added tiny amounts of activator and discovered that successful slime involves more than just adding activator, but requires a lot of muscle power and mixing too.
Last week some of the children explored kinetic energy, velocity and force while making marble runs using our Gravitrax kit. There was a lot of experimentation and cooperation involved. They were challenged to work as an effective team, with each member constructing and testing different parts that eventually joined to make one larger marble run.

Parent Information
Enrolling Your Child
For new enrolments, please go to www.oshclub.com.au. There you will find the 'Register Your Child' tab under the 'Families' tab. This will take you to the iParent Portal account sign up page. Once signed up, search for Mount Pleasant Road OSHClub under the 'Find a Place' tab and follow the instructions. Once your enrolment is complete it will be forwarded to the service for review.
Drop off and Pick Up Procedure
Parents are welcome onsite to drop off and collect children from OSHClub. Please only come to the door and not inside the room. Please also ensure that you are wearing a mask.
As part of our COVID-19 risk management plan, an OSHClub staff member will continue to sign children in and out on the iPad until further notice.
Cancellation of Bookings
IMPORTANT: If your child is booked in for an after school care session and that booking is no longer required, please cancel the booking on the iParent Portal. If you are cancelling on the day, please contact us on the program phone before 3:15pm.
We are responsible for all children booked into our care. If a child does not arrive to after school care when booked in to attend, we will need to confirm the whereabouts of the child by contacting parents/guardians and emergency contacts. If we cannot successfully do this, it then becomes a missing child incident and will need to be referred to police.
As you can imagine, this can be very stressful!
Thanks for your cooperation by notifying us of any after school care absences moving forward.
