Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) services mainly provide care for primary school children:
OSHC services offer range of activities in a safe and convenient location, and children can be booked in to attend on a regular or casual basis. OSHC services offer a range of supervised, age appropriate activities that encourage your children to interact with their friends. Some of the activities available are games, craft, sport, drama, dance, painting, cooking, reading, music, and excursions, particularly in vacation care. Children can mix in either small or large groups or they can choose to have a quiet time or finish homework. Your children's choices are respected and catered for by the staff when planning programs. In OSHC services the emphasis is always on having fun in a relaxed and safe environment. Upon enrolment OSHC staff will be happy to discuss any additional care needs your children may have. Commonwealth support may also be available to assist services to include children with special needs. Staff will have child care, recreation, teaching or related qualifications and experience with school age children. It is important that the enrolment form is completed before the child commences care. These forms provide important information for your child carers. All information will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.
