In providing a variety of learning and recreational experiences to complement and extend the children’s physical, intellectual, social and emotional development.
In respecting each person as an individual.

We aim to:

Provide a happy, safe, clean, comfortable and secure environment.
Be warm, caring and sensitive to the individual beliefs, backgrounds, personalities and abilities of each child.

Nutrition

OSHC promotes healthy foods and eating habits plus ensure that meals and snack times are an opportunity for social learning and positive interaction with staff. If there is a specific dietary requirement (eg allergies) please notify the staff.

Medication

Prescribed and non-prescribed medicines (eg Panadol) will be administered only if requested in writing by the Parent / Caregiver. The medication to be administered must be in the original container bearing the child’s name, instructions and description of the medication. Please supply your own medicine measuring instrument.

Supervision

Children are supervised at all times. Children will be supervised with the highest degree of care possible, while recognising that it is impossible to supervise every child for every moment.

Enrolment

‘Bookings and Cancellations’

Regular, Casual and Emergency Bookings

Regular bookings should be made within the first two weeks of Term 1 and first week of Terms 2, 3 and 4. Regular bookings will roll over into the next term unless adjustments are made. No casual booking fee will be charged during these periods.

Casual bookings should be made by 6pm the day prior. Casual bookings that are made one week in advance void the casual booking fee.
Emergency bookings should be made by 1pm on the day, bookings made after 1pm are taken at the discretion of the Director.

Cancellations

Cancellations that are made by 6pm seven days prior to the booking will not be charged.
Cancellations (including absences due to illness) that are made within seven days of the booking will be charged as per normal.

Authority for the Collection of Children

No child will be allowed to leave the program without prior permission from the parents. Any adult who collects your child must notify the staff member and sign the attendance sheet. Please notify staff if someone other than the usual person is to collect your child. If circumstances change, staff must be notified verbally or by phone prior to the child’s collection.

Illness

We regret that children suffering from contagious infections cannot be cared for. If a child arrives unwell, or becomes unwell during the course of the program, the child will be comforted and cared for until the parents or emergency contact can be notified to collect the child as soon as possible.
