Out of School Hours Care (OOSH)

It’s only days away from vacation care and the OOSH team have put together an exciting program that will entice children of all ages.

Vacation care begins on Monday 30 June with a Pizza Party and ends on Tuesday 22 July with a Pyjama Party. There’s also a Christmas in July Party in between. The OOSH team knows that children love parties as they provide them with an opportunity to celebrate and have fun with friends.

Incursions and excursions are scheduled across vacation care that will cater to varying interests. In the first week, the Petting Zoo is back. Everyone enjoyed seeing and touching animals last holidays, so the OOSH team arranged to have them visit again. Exergames are running a sports camp and Funday Out a Science vs Art battle and Silly Slinky drama workshop. It’ll be a week of surprises.

In Week 2, the children are going bowling. An all-time favourite OOSH excursion and booked Junior Architects that everyone enjoyed in April. This week is also about being active, with the Funday Out incursions: Circus Party Plus, Bop Till You Drop dance party and Old Skool Games.

Two excursions are planned in Week 3 that will take children to the theatre. One is to see the musical circus Wolfgang in the Stars and the other to see the Smurf movie. Theatre provides children with an opportunity to imagine. To balance out the week, Acro Dance and Laser Tag have been booked to get children moving.   

Vacation care will be rounded off with an excursion to Charles Heath Reserve on Monday 21 July. This reserve has a variety of structures designed to challenge and engage children of all ages.

If you would like your child to attend vacation care, they need to be enrolled in OOSH. To enrol your child please contact our OOSH Coordinator Frances Windon at ooshmail@ssc.nsw.edu.au.
