News From OSHClub – Before and After School Care

Welcome back for 2016, we hope you all had a nice summer and are ready to tackle the new school year with us. We welcome Saadet our new coordinator and Fatma our educator to our OSHC program. We hope they have a wonderful journey with us and sadly having to say goodbye to Fadime who has been the back bone of this program for many years. Her efforts will not go unrecognised and hope her well in her new journey to become a teacher.

We would like to issue the following reminders:

Sun Smart Term 1 - We would like to remind all families that Term 1 is a SunSmart term. This means that children will be required to wear hats and sunscreen for outdoor play. So please remember to bring/pack a hat as no hat means no play. You are welcome to leave a hat with your child's name on it at the program for this purpose.

Bookings and Cancellations - We ask that if you pick your child up from school on a day when he or she is booked into After School Care that you please give us a call and let us know they are safe so we don't go looking for them.

Bookings are open until 8pm the night before. All bookings received by that time will be processed through the system as per normal. Any emergency bookings after this time must be texted/phoned through to the program directly and will incur an additional $3 late fee. The program phone number is 0434004015. Cancellations given with a minimum of 24 hours notice prior to the session start time will not be charged. Any cancellations after this time will be charged as per normal.

We currently have only a handful of kitchen utensils to play with and would really like to have more for when we do activities that a lot of the children want to join in with. If anyone has any spare that they no longer want which we could use for this purpose, we would greatly appreciate the donation. Please see Saddet and she will tell you exactly what items are required. Thanking you all for your support for our program and look forward to working with our community.
