Out of School Hours Care (OOSH)

Santa Sabina College Out of School Hours Care Centre (OOSH) offers education and care to students enrolled in Primary Years and Gioia House. Located on the Primary Campus, OOSH aims to be a place between home and school, where children can relax and play with friends with the support of responsive educators.

OOSH offers three separate programs Before School Care (BSC), After School Care (ASC) and Vacation Care (VC).

Before School Care – keeping children safe

Paulina Skerman recently wrote to families about drop-off protocols and the safety of children on the Primary Campus prior to the commencement of supervision at 8:20am.

If your child needs to arrive at school before 8:20am, we’ll warmly welcome them at Before School Care (BSC). As enrolment in OOSH is separate to enrolment in school, children need to be enrolled in OOSH prior to attending any of the OOSH program. To enrol your child, please contact our Coordinator, Jessica Azzi, via email at: ooshmail@ssc.nsw.edu.au or phone 9745 7790 between 7:00am-8:30am or 2:00pm-6:00pm so they can be enrolled in OOSH.

After School Care for Prep children

As the Education and Care Services National Regulations have specific requirements for children under five years, a modified ASC routine is implemented to accommodate them. This routine involves an OOSH educator meeting and being with Prep children in the Prep classroom from 3:00pm-4:00pm before moving to the OOSH space from 4:00pm onwards. Prep children are served afternoon tea, toilet and play in the Prep space between 3:00pm-4:00pm.

If your child is in Prep and you would like them to attend AS, please contact our Coordinator, Jessica Azzi, via email at: ooshmail@ssc.nsw.edu.au or phone 9745 7790 between 7:00am-8:30am or 2:00pm-6:00pm.

OOSH is a fun and exciting place for children to meet and connect. We look forward to your child becoming an ‘OOSHIE’ and participating in our programs.
