How to book OSHC online
All children need to be enrolled before they attend any of our Outside School Hours Care programs and each holiday period for our Vacation Care. Children can be enrolled on a permanent or casual basis.
Parents can register and apply online through QK Enrol ‘My Family Lounge’ below:
Before-School Care
6:30 am to 8:30 am - $10 per day per child (food is not provided) - College Hall.
Before School Care is located in rooms E4 and E5 of the College Hall from 6:30 am – 8:30 am. Children will walk down to their class rooms around 8:20 am and proceed to line up in preparation for the beginning of the school day, with the exception of Prep’s, who will be accompanied by OSHC educators.
Breakfast is not provided by the service; however, children are welcome to purchase food from the school café or to bring their own food from home.
Parents/Guardian’s must drop their children off at Before School Care and sign in their children upon arrival; the OSHC educators will sign out students as they leave for class.
After-School Care
3:00 pm to 6:00 pm - $19 per day per child (a snack is provided) - College Hall.
Children walk from their classrooms to the College Hall after school and are signed in by an OSHC educator upon arrival. Prep students will be collected, signed in and walked from their classrooms to the College Hall by the OSHC educators. Year 1 students will be collected from their classroom during Term 1 and then transitioned to walk to the College Hall themselves by Term 2.
Parents/ Guardian’s are to pick up their child prior to 6:00 pm or will be charged payment of $1 per child per 1 minute.
