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.

Further information can also be obtained by contacting the school or ringing TheirCare directly on: 1300 072 410.
