Outside of school hours care (OSHC)

Our school has an on-site outside of school hours care (OSHC) service. This service operates before and after school. We also provide care during school holidays and school development days. This is known as vacation care.

Inner West Council's out of school hours care (OSHC) services provide a safe, supervised and fun place for your child. Our programs provide a wide range of supervised creative, recreational and play activities that assist in the social, emotional, creative and physical development of your child.
