Our holiday program's first week has been an outstanding achievement, marked by children's enthusiastic participation in a range of fun activities including Australia Zoo, Christmas in July, slime making, and a gigantic inflatable obstacle course, as well as crafting gorgeous puppy bandanas and delightful dog toys for the SCARS animals, which brought them immense joy.

🐢💙 A Friendly Reminder for Our OSHC Families 💙🐢

A huge welcome to all our new families and a big thank you to all our other families for continuing to be part of our Turtle Crew after so many years!

As our service continues to grow, we thought we'd share a few important reminders. While we're located on school grounds, OSHC is actually governed under childcare legislation, which means some of our policies are a little different to the school's.

⭐ Collections
If someone different is picking up your child, please send us a text or email beforehand with their full name and contact number. They'll need to bring photo ID the first time they collect.

⭐ Absences
We're not connected to QParents or the school's attendance system, so if your child won't be attending OSHC, please let us know. This helps us ensure all children expected at the service are accounted for.

⭐ Opening Hours
We're open from 6:30am to 6:00pm. Please remember children cannot be dropped off before 6:30am, and late pick-up fees apply after 6:00pm.

⭐ Phones & Photos
Mobile phones should only be used for signing children in and out. To protect everyone's privacy, photography and video recording aren't permitted in or around the service.

📸 We know families love seeing photos of their children (and we love sharing them too!), but our biggest priority is spending time with the children, supporting their play, friendships and experiences. Sometimes that means fewer photos and more fun!

❄️ Winter Vacation Care Bookings close TODAY at 5pm!
After this time, bookings will be by request only and subject to availability.

Thanks for your support and for helping us keep our service safe, fun and welcoming for everyone! 🐢💙

When making your Vacation Care bookings, please remember to complete the relevant excursion permission forms. Numbers are capped for all excursions, so be sure to secure your child's place as soon as possible!

⚠️ Important Booking Information

Completing an excursion permission form does not secure your child's place.

Families must both:
• Complete the excursion permission form; and
• Make a booking through the Xplor Home App.

If your child is not booked into Vacation Care through Xplor, their excursion request cannot be processed and may be cancelled. Excursion places are limited and bookings will be allocated based on confirmed Xplor bookings and completed permission forms.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, so get in quick!

Our children have already started creating their hearts for Reconciliation week. They demonstrated a sense of wonder and inquiry when engaged in this activity and had confidence in their words and creativity 🫶🏻❤️🫶🏻

19/05/2026

❤️ WE ARE ALL IN ❤️

This National Reconciliation Week, our OSHC will be taking part in the Sea of Hearts Movement — a beautiful community initiative focused on kindness, inclusion, belonging, and connection.

Over the coming weeks, our children will be creating hearts filled with messages, artwork, colours, and words that represent what community, respect, and caring for one another means to them.

But this is about more than just decorating hearts.

It’s about helping children understand that everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, valued, and included. It’s about starting important conversations around kindness, empathy, culture, and community connection — not just within our OSHC, but throughout our wider community as well.

We would love for our families to join us by taking a heart template home, decorating it together, and returning it to help us create our very own Sea of Hearts display. ❤️

Together, we can show our children that even small acts of kindness and connection can create meaningful change.

Week 3 has been producing the goods!

The kids have been busy building real skills and confidence—cutting and sewing their own bags on Wednesday, progressing with Maddox from Chiggy’s Skateboarding and showing great resilience and coordination, and finishing the week with calming Friday morning yoga to support focus and wellbeing.

All activities are intentionally planned in line with the NQS, supporting child-led learning, wellbeing, and strong relationships through play, movement and creativity.

Proud of the growth we’re seeing each week!
