THE Y OUTSIDE SCHOOL HOURS CARE
Welcome to Term 1!
It is safe to say that Term 1 is a busy term! We have loved every second of getting to know all our new friends and their families.
2025 Enrolment
If you are a family who has already attended our service, please don’t forget that you do need to complete a new enrolment for each year, meaning we need a current one before you make any bookings for your children. If you need any assistance with your enrolment, feel free to contact us or come and visit our lovely room for a chat!
Preps 2025
What an absolute pleasure it has been meeting all our new 2025 preppies! Every single one of them has settled in so well and has become super comfortable with our current routine at OSHC. We will continue to assist them in any way that they may need whilst in our care. Our staff members will continue to collect the prep and year 1s from their classroom after school to ensure they are getting to the OSHC room nice and safely.
Staffing
The team here at AWH is going to continue to grow slowly this year as we have gotten so many new enrolments, which is so exciting! We have had a new staff member start with us in week 3, feel free to come and say hello to her!
Quest Football
As most families are aware, we have started doing Quest football again! From the children that have started doing it, they are giving great feedback about it. Quest is running every Friday afternoon in 2 separate groups. As we have a few families started already, we do currently only have a few spots left! Please see down the bottom for the link.
Our Program
The AWH program is a fun, exciting, educational program which is created by our entire team. Our staff are paired up with one another each week to ensure we join all the ideas that we have and put them into the best program possible for our children to enjoy!
Story Park
It’s great to see how many parents are now actively involved with what we post on our Storypark. If you haven’t already please accept our Invitation for you to join. We also want to assure families this is only for our Service to see. This is an easy to use online service that is very private. We do require permission prior and this is what you have indicated on your Enrolment Form. Please note this can be changed at any time.
We also use this platform to notify special events, holidays and our Monthly Service Bulletin.
Driving up to OSHC Building
Thank you to everyone for helping to keep our children safe by not driving up to the OSHC building. There are some exceptions so if you do see someone driving up, please know that we are aware in the Office.
Our Next Vacation Care commences: 7th April – 17th April!
The program will be sent to all families. Please, if you require bookings for vacation care, bookings can be made via the app but only when we notify you all that the rolls are open. Please let me know if you need any assistance.
Failure of Notice of Absence
We ask that if you are away if you can please notify us as soon as possible. We need to account for all children who are booked in and this can take some time contacting families.
We unfortunately need to charge a non - communication fee if we are having to make calls/texts.
Absences need to be given to the service the Friday prior to the following week or an absent fee is charged.
