Vacation Care

Vacation care commences this Thursday, and the program is jam-packed with exciting leisure activities that will satisfy the interests of all children.

To get things moving, the program begins with two days of Tennis followed by an excursion to Strathfield Park, a disco party, and an action circus in the second week. The program includes the following STEM workshops: The Magic of Science, Brix Works, and Young Inventors to engage the curious children and active experiences including laser tag, rock climbing, and exergames to test and challenge them physically. As NAIDOC Week occurs during vacation care a workshop with Koori Kinnections has also been planned to celebrate and recognise the history and culture of Aboriginal people. There will be occasions to cook such as on the pizza party day and ample opportunities to create and connect and have fun with friends. Vacation care is certainly the place to be for your child if they are looking for something new and stimulating to do during the school holidays.

Eligible families are entitled to claim Child Care Subsidy through their MyGov account to cover the cost of OOSH fees. Presently families can also use the Services NSW BASC Voucher to pay for the cost of OOSH fees. 

Students from primary school and Gioia House are all welcome to attend vacation care once they are enrolled in OOSH. To learn more about the OOSH programs including vacation care, please email the OOSH Administrator Frances Windon at ooshmail@ssc.nsw.edu.au

I look forward to seeing your child laugh and learn at OOSH during vacation care.
