THE Y OUTSIDE SCHOOL HOURS CARE
Welcome to Term 2!
Has this year already flown by or what! The beginning of this year has been super busy and super exciting for all of us here at AWH.
2025 Enrolment
Our team at AWH couldn’t be happier with the number of new enrolments we have received and completed for this year, it has been the highlight of our year creating new relationships with all our children and families that have started with us these past few months. Please ensure all your information on your enrolments is up to date, including immunization forms and any forms of ID that you have.
Preps 2025What an absolute pleasure it has been watching all our Preps grow into such beautiful people. Our preppies have settled in very well have formed so many wonderful friendships. Our Preppies are amazing 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 growing and we have another new Educator Jordan. Jordan is fitting in really well and all our children are taking the time to get to know Jordan. which is so exciting!
We have 3 staff away on Prac but they will return to us in the next few weeks.
We all miss them.
Quest Football
As most families are aware, we are continuing to do Quest. 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 below 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!
We are super excited for you all to see our upcoming vacation care program!
Story Park
It’s great to see how many parents are now actively involved with what we post on our Story Park. 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 BuildingThank 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:
30th June – 11th July !!
The program has been sent to all families. Please, if you require bookings for vacation care, bookings can be made via the app, if these bookings are made after week 8 of term, they will be casual bookings. Our team also require 2 weeks’ notice for any cancellations for vacation care, after this deadline, you will receive an absent fee.
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 are unfortunately needed 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, during term, or an absent fee is charged.
