Pupil Free Day 1st May

Last Monday, OSHC attended the SA Museum to see 'Relics - A New World Rises' - an interactive Lego exhibition.  The children were excited to catch the bus to the city and walk to the museum.  The children were captivated from beginning to end and participated in a scavenger hunt discovering hundreds of hidden stories in all eleven worlds.

Payment of Fees 

Changes to gap fee payments from July 2023

From 1 July 2023, families using OSHC must pay the gap fee using electronic means.

 

The gap fee is the difference between the provider’s fee and the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) amount. 

Electronic funds transfer, or EFT, is when a customer pays a bill using electronic means. Typical EFT payment methods include:

  • bank or credit card, including mobile wallets
  • direct deposit or bank transfer, including PayID
  • online payment systems through third party software - Qkr! app
  • BPAY or Centrepay

Cancellation Procedure

OSHC needs to be advised of all cancellations. Notification of the cancellation must be received from the parent/caregiver either in writing (email/SMS) or verbally, not by the child/children.  

Permanent bookings for Before School Care & After School Care can be cancelled in the Parent's Childcare App up to 6.00pm the day before the cancellation. 

Cancellations of bookings after 6.00pm, will incur the full fee, unless in the case of OSHC being notified of the child or the child’s sibling being unwell or unforeseen circumstance, and at the discretion of the Director and/or Principal. Cancellations made after this will incur the normal session charge as an approved absence.  Each child is entitled to 42 approved absences per financial year.

If your child/children are booked in for BSC or ASC and are NOT attending school that day due to sickness, please advise OSHC of their absence before 8.00am.  

If you do not notify cancellations, you will be charged the session fee.

 

If there is any way, I can assist please don’t hesitate to discuss it with me.
