New to OSHC?

Let's get ready for school!

An easy, fun and engaging transition to BIG SCHOOL is vital.

  • Our fun and enriching programs are all about:

    Making new friends

    When kids meet each other for the first time, new bonds are formed that make their transition to big school so much easier – it’s all about familiar faces and a sense of belonging

    Building life skills

    New experiences and shared challenges build confidence and resilience – which is fundamental to how kids look at the world, socialise and learn

    Caring educators

    Having caring and nurturing grownups around you means all the difference – our educators make sure your child is encouraged to flourish and have fun, every step of the way

    Having fun

    We know fun plays a huge factor in positive learning and development. Our programs are designed with the child’s needs and voice at the forefront.

    Turning a big step into a little one

    Starting school with familiar faces, comfortable environments and positive anticipation helps make that big step a much smaller one!
