Welcome back to OSHC for term 4. We hope that everyone had a happy, safe and relaxing holiday. We look forward to hearing all the amazing stories about what everyone has been up to. It’s hard to believe that we are already in the last term of the year. It feels like yesterday we were in term one. As one of the children told me this morning, there are only 52 more days of school until summer holidays…and 77 days until Christmas (isn’t that a scary thought?) It promises to be an action packed term, with lots of fun planned for the children to participate in. A highlight promises to be our special Recycling week which will be held in November.
With the arrival of term 4 we need to remind everyone that sun smart hats should be brought to OSHC so that the children can go outside and enjoy the amazing weather we get this time of year at after school care.
We also need to remind parents that, with school camps coming up, children who are attending camp need to have their OSHC bookings cancelled while they away to avoid parents being charged. For most parents these cancellations need to happen a week in advance in order to avoid being charged.
OSHC at Drysdale Primary School operates out of the School hall, We open at 7:00 each school day, and send the children off at 8:50, when the teachers are scheduled to commence their yard duty. Unfortunately we are unable to accept children into our care earlier than 7:00. At 3:30, once the school bell goes, children attending after school care walk over to the hall from their classrooms, with preps being picked up from their classrooms and we provide a safe place for them to play and engage with other children until they are collected. Our closing time is 6:00. For more information on our service and fees, you may visit our website www.campaustralia.com.au. If you prefer to speak to us, you can contact our friendly Customer Care Team that is available to support our families 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – except for National Public Holidays. Alternatively, you’re welcome to visit us in service and chat with our qualified Educators about the Camp Australia program at your child’s school.
A friendly reminder for parents that for staffing and catering purposes children should be booked into OSHC through the Camp Australia head office, and that should you need to cancel their booking please can this be done through head office as well. This works out much cheaper for you, as there are additional fees involved if children do not attend sessions they are booked in for. Bookings can be made or cancelled by logging into the Camp Australia website https://www.campaustralia.com.au or by ringing 1300 105 343. The team are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (except National Public Holidays).
We look forward to seeing you and your family soon! From the Team at Camp Australia.
