Designed for children from five to 12 years of age, our programs feature a range of awesome activities and clubs. We'll work with you and your child to tailor our programs to their ideas, interests and needs, ensuring every day is fun, safe and engaging!
Whether your child attends before school care, after school care or both, they'll be able to make friends, learn new things and build confidence. Best of all, they'll have so much fun, they'll want to come again tomorrow!
What's included?
Before school care
What to expect
When you drop your child off at OSHC in the morning, we’ll welcome and sign them in.
We’ll invite your child to take part in activities that interest them. They could choose to join fun sporting games during active play, or perhaps read a book in the quiet corner. They can also enjoy a delicious and healthy breakfast to fuel a great day of learning.
Once the morning activities wrap up, our educators will walk prep students to class, ensuring they get to their lessons safely, on time, and feeling ready to learn!
After school care
What to expect
Once school finishes, our educators collect prep students from their classrooms while older children make their own way to the OSHC room.We begin with roll call, followed by a yarning circle and afternoon tea. Children then break off into zones such as child-led clubs and free play. Our educators also lead a planned activity which might include group games, STEM, creative projects or themed experiences.
As the day winds down, we transition into quiet activities and children begin to pack up their things ready to be collected for home time.
Activities your child will love
Children can take part in activities and experiences such as:
- Active outdoor play
- Arts and crafts
- Board games and puzzles
- Cooking and baking
- Drama, dancing and singing
- Gardening and recycling
- Homework and reading time
- Sport, ball games and team games
Child-led clubs are also very popular. These vary across our services and are tailored to children's individual interests. Whether that's Lego® or cooking, sport or art, there's something to suit everyone!
We also run term-based programs, including STEM programs, to keep things interesting and exciting.
Pupil free days and curriculum days
We provide a safe, nurturing space for children to learn and play when schools are closed for pupil free days and curriculum days.
Throughout the day, we’ll support your child to learn new skills, make friends and have lots of fun. Activities could include anything from STEM challenges and science experiments to yoga and crafts. In the past, we’ve had an ‘Aussie Animals Adventure’ and a ‘Magic and Mystery’ themed day!
Our pupil free day programs run at most OSHC locations, depending on bookings.
