During next week, on the Tuesday 13th, Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th of September, we will be required to relocate to the BER (Junior) building due to the school concert. This will only impact After School Care, Before School care will remain in the hall as per normal. As the BER building is outside of our approved area, we need to treat this like an excursion, so we need parental consent to take the children to the other building. If your child is booked in to attend that week please call into OSHC to sign the form. On the dates in question there will be signage in place detailing to parents where exactly we are, and we will be also verbally reminding everyone as time draws closer.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind parents that we are legally not allowed to accept children into our care until 7:00am each school day. Although Educators may be in the room before this time, we are setting up for the session and performing administrative tasks. We have noticed a worrying trend lately of parents dropping their children off early, even if it is just by a few minutes. If this trend continues we will lock the door until it is 7:00am and we are legally able to accept children into the service.
We are currently experiencing high numbers of bookings, and we unfortunately have reached capacity of children for the number of educators available to work. We apologise for the inconvenience this causes for families, and ask that you help us by cancelling bookings that you no longer need so that someone else who needs it can take the place. This can be done via our Parent portal app, on the phone on 1300 105 343, or online on www.campaustralia.com.au.
If you haven’t already, it is time to start thinking about your plans for your children for over the approaching school holidays. Bookings are now open for Camp Australia School Holiday Rocketeers programs, including Drysdale Primary School’s own Rocketeers program. Copies of the program that will be on offer are now available on the Camp Australia School Holiday Club website, which is www.campaustralia.com.au/holidayclubs, as well as the option to make bookings.
In regard to the current Covid situation we ask that if your child tests positive to Covid and has attended OSHC while potentially contagious or was booked into OSHC and now will not attend please contact our Customer Care team on 1300 105 343. This not only helps us follow our Covid Safe Plan and processes, but families will also benefit as they will not have to pay for any sessions of care that a child misses due to having Covid or for other covid related reasons.
Parents please be reminded that in order to use the service they need to be registered with Camp Australia. We are legally unable to accept children who are not registered with us. Bookings can be made or cancelled by using our
We look forward to seeing you and your family soon.
