Out Of School Hours Care

OSHC News Week 6

OSHC Menu

It is a challenging time for all of us with the COVID-19 pandemic impacting us all in one way or another and we appreciate your support. In light of the changes implemented into child cares, the service has had to review their budget. As a result, the service will no longer be able to supply food during OSHC. This means families will be required to pack breakfast and/or snacks for their children. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you and appreciate your understanding.

My Time Our Place

The children have spent the past two weeks participating in the programmed activities which have focussed on nature and nature play. This has seen the children using natural substances in their everyday play as well as visiting the primary school playground to experience some nature play. The children have also shown interest in origami and have enjoyed teaching their peers how to make origami dogs and frogs or learning new animals through Youtube videos.

This activity has demonstrated the children's ability to resource their own learning as well as communicating between each other.

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.

Regards

Kelly Stephen

Acting OSHC Director
