Vacation Care

Vacation care starts on Monday and runs every day during the winter break. If your child is looking for fun and exciting things to do during the upcoming school holidays, then look at our program, which was developed with OOSH children.

Every day begins with an engaging craft or cooking experience, is illuminated by an exciting incursion or excursion and rounded off with an entertaining film. What more would a child want or need to help them relax, have fun and play with friends these holidays?

Our incursions and excursions include some of the children’s ongoing favourite activities such as the Ultra Gaming Van, Kingpin Bowling, Exergames and Strathfield Park. We included the following new activities The Accidental Invention, Scientifix, Surreal Racing and Runaway with the Circus and brought back some old favourites like Laser Tag and the movies.

Eligible families are entitled to claim a Child Care Subsidy that will reduce the daily OOSH fee. Breakfast and afternoon tea are provided daily. Children are only required to bring morning tea and lunch, just like they would at school.

Primary and Gioia House students are all welcome to attend vacation care. They just need to be enrolled in OOSH prior to doing so. To enrol your child, contact our OOSH Coordinator Frances Windon at ooshmail@ssc.nsw.edu.au or call her on 9745 7790 between 2:00pm and 6:00pm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

I look forward to seeing your child at OOSH during the next school holidays.
