Out Of School Hours Care

OSHC News Week 10

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

Over the past two weeks the children have spent time both indoors and outdoors participating in spontaneous and programmed activities. On national photography day the children enjoyed being able to take out the iPads and create artistic shots experimenting with different filters and colours. The children enjoyed expressing their individuality and communicating their artistic vision to their peers and educators. The children also spent time at the sand pits where they participated in a sandcastle competition. The children incorporated a variety of natural elements and demonstrated persistence and creativity when building their castles. The service will continue this competition into the next week.

July Vacation Care Program

The July Vacation care booklet is available from the schools website, the OSHC room and has been sent out via email.

Child Care Relief Package

The child care relief package which has supported families by providing free child care will come to a close on the 12th of July 2020. Fees will resume as normal as of the 13th of July 2020.

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.

Dietary Requirements

At our service we aim to cater to children’s needs as much as possible, however, if your child has specific dietary requirements or does not like the food programmed for the day please pack an alternative snack or drop off food alternatives at the service.
