OSHC at Yarrabah School

TheirCare manage our out of school hours care

Program News

Our new trikes and helmets are proving popular with the children. It’s great to see the outside spaces being well utilised, particularly now that we are enjoying some warmer weather. 

 

Artificial turf has been installed outside the Primary School building. This space is adjacent to the OSHC building and provides an additional outdoor space during after school care and holiday program sessions. Planning is underway to install a shade sail over the artificial turf. 

 

This week students were able to explore the new Chill Out space created by our OT’s. The room includes: big white floor mat, bubble tube, ball pit, light up cube, CD player, tent, vibrating cushion, and other massage/light up sensory toys. 

 

An additional room was made available this week for the OSHC program. This coincided with the implementation of staff and student room allocations, which will see the same students and educators allocated to the same room each day. 

Fun at OSHC

Donations

Donations are always welcomed. If you have items at home that you no longer require and wish to donate to the OSHC program, it would be greatly appreciated. We are currently seeking a mud kitchen. Pick-up can be arranged if required.

Community Partnerships

We are exploring potential future partnerships with local community organisations and individuals and welcome expressions of interest from individuals interested in running an incursion or school visit. Areas of student interest include: cooking, gardening, music, art and sport.
