OSHC

Out of School Hours Care

is a non-profit service designed to provide high quality and affordable child care and education services for children on a casual, part-time or emergency basis.

The centre, based at Pooraka Primary School, aims to assist families with primary school-aged children. We provide a safe, comfortable and stimulating environment for all children that focuses on encouraging well-balanced growth and development – physically, emotionally, intellectually, linguistically, socially and culturally.

Each child is recognised as unique with individual needs – this is recognised as one of the cornerstones of our activities. Understanding the need for parent support; we encourage parents and/or carers to participate in the operation of O.S.H.C. Our staff promotes the benefits of parent involvement and we regularly liaise with you as part of developing tailored programs for children.

Children are actively encouraged to take part in a wide variety of supervised games and craft, both indoors and outdoors. It doesn’t matter where your child attends school, all are welcome and, in many instances, parents share travel arrangements.
