This includes, but is not limited to, phone numbers, addresses and details regarding specific health care needs e.g. allergies and food intolerances.
2020 Bookings
If you have a child starting Prep in 2020, we strongly advise that you complete an Enrolment Form and return it to us as soon as possible (if you haven’t already done so) - we already have a waiting list for Tuesday and Thursday afternoons!
NOTE: All current permanent booked days will automatically roll over into 2020, there is no need for you to do anything.
OSHC Prep 2020 Welcome Visit
Do you have a Prep student starting in 2020? If so, we would like to invite you and your child to come and visit us at Outside Schools Hours Care (OSHC). We are running ‘Welcome’ sessions on Wednesday and Friday mornings and afternoons (7:30 - 9.00am and 4:00 - 6.00pm) for the remainder of the year.
During this time, one of our lovely Educators and/or senior students will show you and your child our rooms and the various ‘clubs’ and activities we have on offer. This is also a great opportunity to meet our team and ask any questions you might have. Please allow approximately 15 - 20 minutes for your visit.
To ensure we have enough Educators for a personalised tour, bookings are essential - please email Kelly at oshc@beaumarisnorthps.vic.edu.au
Donate to Our Christmas Collection - #itsinthebag
BNPS OSHC are once again supporting Share the Dignity’s IT’S IN THE BAG campaign and we would love your help! You have the power to make life better for a woman or girl experiencing homelessness or poverty this Christmas. Provide pads and tampons, personal hygiene products and everyday luxuries to homeless women, women at risk or women experiencing domestic violence.
It’s simple. First of all, choose a handbag in good condition that you no longer use. Then, fill it with items that would make a woman feel special, pop in a thoughtful note or Christmas card and show her someone cares. Show her that she matters because everyone deserves to feel that way.
Next time you’re at the shops, collect a few items for your Christmas handbag. No matter how you celebrate Christmas with your family, this will be the most meaningful and appreciated gift you give this year.
We will be making bags up at OSHC too, so if have a handbag you want to drop off, or even just an item to include in one of the other bags, please put it in the basket under the sign in table.
We will be accepting donations at OSHC until Thursday 5 December.
