Out of School Hours Care

The Out of School Hours Care program (O.S.H.C. program) at Glen Waverley South Primary School has been developed to assist families with child care outside of normal school hours.

Our programs are designed with working families in mind, ensuring that parents/guardians can continue to work, study or search for employment without concerns about the safety and care of their children.

The O.S.H.C. program is a not for profit, community managed, child care service. Our programs are managed by the School Council with a subcommittee comprising parents of children attending the program, the O.S.H.C. Coordinator, O.S.H.C. staff members and the Assistant Principal.

We offer Before School Care, After School Care, Vacation Care programs (Holiday programs) and Pupil Free Day programs. Programs can be accessed full time, part time or casually.

Throughout all of our programs, the children participate in a wide range of interesting indoor and outdoor activities designed to suit the individual needs of each child.  

Our programs are fully registered under the National Child Care Accreditation Council. We are also a registered service for the Child Care Benefit.

Before School Care:                7.00am - 8.45am       $ 12.50 per session

Breakfast is served every morning for children who arrive at the program prior to 8.00am. Cereal, toast, milk and juice are available everyday and a cooked breakfast is provided once a week. The children are dismissed from the program at 8.45am. On cold or wet mornings the children are kept inside until the morning bell goes. Prep children are taken to their classrooms by a staff member.

After School Care:                3.30pm - 6.00pm          $ 16.00 per session

Children are provided with an afternoon snack. Our menu is varied and we make every effort to cater for all dietary requirements. Children assist in the planning of the menu and create the weekly menu notice displayed on the O.S.H.C. noticeboard.  Children have the opportunity to participate in planned activities as well as free play. 

Holiday Program:              7.00am - 6.00pm             $ 50.00 - $ 60.00 per day

Our holiday program is offered every day of the school holidays at the end of Terms 1, 2 and 3 (excluding public holidays). A December holiday program is offered some years, depending on the final date of Term 4. The January Holiday program is offered every year for 3-4 weeks depending on the start date of Term 1. Children participate in excursions, incursions, craft activities, sport/games, cooking activities and lots more.

The 2012 Holiday program will open on Monday 9th January 2012, and run for 4 weeks until school resumes on Friday 3rd February 2012.
