Out of School Hours Care

Out of School Hours Care Program

The OSHC program facilitates care for children outside of school hours. In the morning, this runs from 7 am to 8:45 am, and in the afternoon, from 3:15 pm to 6 pm. The OSHC program also runs vacation care during school holidays. The Out of School Hours program caters to the needs of primary-aged children and includes a range of activities indoors and outdoors.

In the mornings, breakfast is available to children on arrival at the Multi-Purpose Centre before 8 am. In the afternoons, the children are given afternoon tea before settling into their various activities. During vacation care, we provide morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.

If your child has any particular interests, please encourage them to share them with staff so we can include them in our program planning. Parents are encouraged to communicate with staff about any requirements for their child’s individual homework needs, whether they require their child to complete homework or need help.

This program runs from the Edinburgh College Primary Multipurpose Hall. You can use an iPad to sign your child in and out at the hall. If you have a child/ren at the EELC and a child/ren at After School Care, we recommend parking at either the school or the EELC and walking to collect both children. Please don’t sign both/all children in and out from the one iPad. Sign your child/ren in or out of the EELC, then sign your other school-aged child/ren in or out from the iPad in the school hall.
