Some of the children have written about what they have been enjoying the most about coming to before and after school care so far this year.
Mayson: Having Pancakes and yummy things to eat at snack.
Grace: Having our special vegetable stew for Chinese New Year.
Primrose: Colouring in Beanie Boo pictures
Kendall: Colouring in Beanie Boo pictures
Xavier: I like playing.
Tyson: Playing with my friends
Marley: I’ve enjoyed playing tennis
Dylan: I like playing sport at Before school care with the other kids.
The children’s behaviour this week has been amazing, with the trend continuing from right at the start of the term. It has been wonderful to see all of the children sharing the space, co-operating and including one another. Let’s hope this trend continues. 🙂
Could parents please remember that we are legally not allowed to accept children into our care before 7:00 am, as before this time we are still setting up and getting everything organised for the session of before school care. Also, please remember that the official closing time for the service is 6:00 pm. Parents who pick their children after this time will incur a late fee. If you are running late and are not going to make it back to the service by 6:00 please contact us on 0404 427 452. If you don’t and it gets past 6:00 we will start calling people to find out what is going on. If we are unable to contact anyone, then, according to Camp Australia policy, the police may be contacted.
A friendly reminder for parents that for staffing and catering purposes children should be booked into OSHC through the Camp Australia head office, or if it is impractical to do so, through a staff member at OSHC. Where possible bookings and cancellations should be made through the Camp Australia Head Office website or phone number, which is 1300 105 343. This is to ensure that we have adequate numbers of staff present to care for your children, and that we have prepared enough food to go around at snack time.
In related news, could parents be sure to notify OSHC directly, or the Camp Australia head office, if your child will not be attending a session they are booked in for. This helps streamline the session for everyone else as we are not spending time trying to track down children who are not actually coming. This includes days when your child is absent from school for whatever reason. The Camp Australia Drysdale Primary School OSHC mobile number is 0404 427 452.
