It has been a busy week at OSHC this past week, and we have enjoyed welcoming all of the children back into the service, some of whom we haven’t seen in a long time. The children enjoyed participating in some Halloween themed activities and crafts, as well as enjoying having the chance to spend some time with their friends and classmates.
In line with current government directives we ask that all children in grades 3-6 (other than those with a medical exception,) wear a face mask when they are inside at OSHC. We thank families and children who have complied thus far with this directive and supported us, and the school, on this matter.
The return of warmer weather means that hats need to come to after school care as well as to school. This was an issue earlier this year, as few children brought their hats. It doesn’t have to be a school hat, any sun smart hat is fine. Maybe a spare hat could live in the bottom of the bag if children don’t want to remove their hats from their classrooms? We hope to spend as much time outside as possible so we really need your support in this matter.
With students soon to be heading off on camp (hopefully) we would like to remind parents to cancel their bookings for while their children are on camp. While we understand in the current situation it is difficult to plan ahead, we recommend that parents cancel these bookings at least a week in advance to avoid paying for these unneeded sessions, if the camp is cancelled or postponed you can always book back in if needed.
Parents please be reminded that in order to use the service they need to be registered with Camp Australia… We are unable to accept children into the service who are not registered with Camp Australia. Bookings can be made or cancelled by logging into the Camp Australia website https://www.campaustralia.com.au or by ringing 1300 105 343, or using our parent portal app. 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!
