Out of School Hours Care
Our school has partnered with an independent provider TheirCare to provide Before, After Care and Holiday Care services to our school community.
TheirCare provides a stimulating and safe environment for all children. During TheirCare sessions children develop life skills, friendships, confidence and creativity through play.
The program services the children in the school from 6:30am until 8.45am and operates from 3:15pm each day until 6:00pm. During school holidays the service will operate from 7:00am until 6:00pm. Families wishing to use this service can visit the TheirCare website: http://theircare.com.au/. Families are also eligible for a Government rebate which reduces the cost per session.

- Strategic Planning – participating in the development and monitoring of the school strategic plan.
- Policy Development and Review – developing, monitoring, reviewing and updating policies that reflect a school’s values and support the school’s broad direction outlined in its strategic plan.
Other key functions of school councils include
