THE Y OUTSIDE SCHOOL HOURS CARE
Has this year already flown by or what! The 3rd term of the year has been packed with a lot of activities new friendships and new children.
Our team at AWH couldn’t be happier with the number of enquiries regarding new enrolments we have received for next year. If you know someone who needs our service, please ask them to send us an email to me or pop in and see us. Please ensure all your information on your enrolments is up to date, including immunization forms and any forms of ID that you have. Make sure if you have any Kindy aged children you keep an eye out for 2026 enrollments! These will be out mid November 2025.
Don’t forget if you know any families that need our services next year to enrol! As we get closer to the end of this year 2026 enrolments will open! We are also able to take Prep children in January 2026.
Staffing
The team here at AWH are all well with Sharon out and about supporting teams - the wonderful Educators have managed the service beautifully in my absence.
We are so excited that our team continues to grow - we now have a new Assistant Coordinator. Madi has stepped up and is doing a marvelous job in the role.
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 who are participating in our upcoming vacation care program!
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.
The program will be sent to all families later this term. 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.
