Out of School Hours Care (OOSH)

The OOSH team received positive feedback from parents and children about the recent Vacation Care program. As with the last program the children enjoyed the opportunity to join in a party. They also appreciated the Petting Zoo, Circus and Junior Architects incursions and excursions to the theatre, bowling and park. We’re now planning the next vacation care program and organising activities that the children enjoyed.

On Wednesday 30 July we acknowledged National Out of School Hours Care Educators Day. It celebrates and recognises the important role OOSH educators play in the lives of children.

Our dedicated educators support children before and after school and during Vacation Care. They play an essential in fostering a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for children outside of regular school hours.

OOSH children were asked to write messages to their educators, and this is what they said,

The OOSH teachers are very kind to me and always make Vacation Care fun. They always ask if we are ok and give us a lot of choices to play.
