We are aware of the pressure on families and the importance of providing a safe and caring environment outside of school hours. Our service provides a warm and caring environment where students can flourish under the guidance of qualified staff. Our program includes indoor and outdoor activities along with excursions as part of our Vacation Care program.
As we look back on an exciting 12 months, it’s clear that our OSHC students have embraced a year full of change, creativity, and connection. While their interests have evolved throughout the year, one passion has remained strong—dam building in the nature play space! This ongoing project has become a symbol of their dedication, teamwork, and curiosity. It’s been truly inspiring to watch the students collaborate, experiment with new tools, and bring their imaginative ideas to life.
The fun and games may be the standout, but this year has also brought so much more. From building strong friendships to sharpening soccer skills on the field, our students have grown in so many ways. We’ve ventured out on new excursions, rediscovered our favourite places, and cooked up some mouthwatering meals that were just as fun to make as they were to eat.
It has most certainly been a vibrant and fulfilling year at OSHC—and we’re already looking forward to what the next few have in store. Here’s to more adventures, laughter, and learning in the year ahead!
