We are proud to partner with Camp Australia to provide our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program.

Camp Australia – Guiding Children’s Growth

Camp Australia programs are centred on child enrichment, while ensuring a reliable, engaging and hassle-free OSHC service at our school.  Their engaged educators foster a safe, inclusive environment where children can relax, have fun and grow.

There is zero cost to register for before and after school care with Camp Australia.  This would ensure that Camp Australia have your child’s/children's details and therefore they could be easily booked into outside school hours care when required or in an emergency.

There is no supervision at school before 8.30am or after 3.20pm.  Students are not to be at school outside of these hours as there is no supervision available.

We encourage all families to sign up by clicking here.  

 

Your OSHC – OSHC that inspires

Your OSHC is Camp Australia’s before school, after school and pupil free day program, tailored to the likes and interests of each child in service. Camp Australia’s educators design enriching experiences to inspire your children’s confidence, independence and imagination. In any one week, they could be participating in science experiments, active play, creative expression and more - they believe in learning through experience so that each child can grow.
