outside of school hours (OOSH)
“Our commitment for caring for children and families is not confined to school hours. We are a community which seeks to support each family through all stages of their child’s growth. OOSH and Vacation Care provide a ‘home away from home’ environment where parents can have confidence in the training and heart of the educators.”
Lisa Dumicich, Interim Principal
The commitment of the College to care for families extends to the provision of an Out Of School Hours (OOSH) service for students from 3 to 16 year olds.
OOSH and Vacation Care aim to provide the highest quality programs designed to complement and reflect the College’s visions, goals and philosophies.
The College provides a positive environment, with siblings who have been in different sections of the College throughout the day coming together in the new OOSH facility after school.
Children in our Before School Hours Care are offered breakfast, and afternoon tea is provided for the After School Hours Care in line with healthy eating guidelines.
“Our experience is that children thrive when families, educators,
and the wider community work together in partnership to support one another.”

FACILITIES
The College OOSH has its own newly renovated facility onsite adjacent to the Preschool and Primary School precinct. It offers a unique home away from home feel which was especially designed to make the students feel relaxed and safe; with the opportunity to take ownership of their space. The OOSH facility is used as a base from which children move out to use and explore other areas of the College – the multipurpose centre, the computer room, the playgrounds and ovals, the wetlands, the hospitality room, library or the basketball court, depending on the activities planned.
