Outside School Hours Care (OSHC)
Fun, discovery and excitement in a nurturing and safe environment
Moonta Area School OSHC provides Before School Care, After School Care and a Vacation Care program. We are also open for Pupil Free Days and Early Closures.
Our OSHC Program is regulated by the National Quality Framework. The framework acknowledges that children need a place to engage in a range of play and leisure experiences that allow them to feel happy, safe and relaxed.
The framework also views children as active participants of their learning and encourages their input in decision-making. It recognises that children need time to interact with friends, practice social skills, problem-solve and explore new activities.

We are able to provide your child with a healthy breakfast. Breakfast will run from 7.15am till 8.15am to allow eating and clean up time.
All Kindy and JP children will be walked to their classroom by staff. Older children (year 3 and up) will walk over independently to their classroom at the first bell at 8.30am.
*Children from other local schools will be walked to their school bus collection point at arranged time for pick up.*

The After School Program offers a choice of experiences. Children can build friendships and form positive relationships. Structured activities for the children are provided and children have the choice to participate if they wish. Children and educators work in collaboration to produce new and wonderful ideas to help build their environment to meet all children’s needs. Activities include art/craft, cooking, music, dance, sports & games.
We welcome feedback and exchange of ideas between parents, children and educators to provide an environment reflective of your family’s needs and the children’s interests. We encourage children to complete homework providing quiet stations and support for your child.
A healthy afternoon snack is provided by the service. A weekly menu will be displayed in the kitchen.
*Children from other local schools will be dropped off at designated bus stop (Blanche Tce/Verran Tce) and walk to the OSHC room. Educators meet children on arrival and sign them in.*

Our holiday program provides a fun stimulating program for your child to enjoy. Please understand vacation care is non-refundable and bookings are permanent. A reminder is sent to parents to double check bookings made early in week 9.
