We're thrilled to announce that Camp Australia will be launching an exciting new initiative, Level Up, as part of the OSHC (Out of School Hours Care) program at our school.

Level Up is designed to enhance the OSHC experience for children, offering Mini-Athletes​ sessions that are fun, skill-building, and dynamic. The highly engaging activities are tailored to help children develop new skills, confidence, and friendships, all while having a great time in a safe and supportive environment. These activities will be provided by Academe Time​, with sessions held every Monday​.

This program is completely free of charge for families already attending OSHC, and it will run for 6​ weeks starting from Week 2, Term 4. Each session lasts for one hour and will be a part of the regular OSHC afternoon.
