Currently located in the primary school seminar room, OOSH delivers three programs: Before School Care, After School Care and Vacation Care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before School Care (BSC)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Opening at 7:00am, the BSC program provides a smooth transition into school. The program is aimed at being slow-paced with relaxed indoor activities and breakfast being offered. Familiar educators greet and play with children before walking them to Prep or Warami depending on their age to join their class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After School Care (ASC)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This commences as soon as school ends. Educators collect K-4 children from the hall and walk them to OOSH and Gioia House students walk across the overpass bridge on The Boulevarde to the seminar room. An educator meets Prep children in their classroom where they spend an hour together. ASC begins with afternoon tea followed with play both indoors and outdoors. The program is a lively and busy with opportunities for children to play, create, move, imagine and have fun with friends. ASC is open to children after participating in co-curricular activities. It closes at 6:00pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vacation Care (VC)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This operates during school holidays from 7:00am \u2013 6:00pm. VC has an activity program with engaging art and craft activities and an incursion and excursion program with exciting and interesting experiences. Breakfast and afternoon tea are provided by OOSH. Children need to bring a nutritious morning tea and lunch, as they do for school.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OOSH aims to be a place between home and school, where children can relax and play with friends with the support of responsive educators. To learn more about and book your child into OOSH programs, email our Coordinator Frances Windon at: <a
