St Bernardine’s Outside School Hours Care is a well-established service which provides care children within the grounds of St Bernardine’s Catholic Primary School.

We strive to encourage children to accept challenges, make their own choices, feel happy, safe and be responsible for their own physical health and wellbeing. We provide learning environments which allow children to develop and explore, make choices and have control of their own learning. This includes allowing the children to take ownership over their decisions when making their own food, deciding where and what they want to play and having input into their learning environments.

Meet Our Staff

Mandy Petrie

Coordinator

I’ve been an early ed coordinator for:
11 years.
My favourite thing about being an early ed coordinator is:
Seeing the children achieve their goals no matter how big or small. Also knowing that I have contributed to their lives by providing positive and fun learning experiences for them while in our care.
Something I like to tell all mums and dads is:
Positive stories about their child’s achievements from throughout the day.
My favourite way to relax is:
Fishing or looking at the night sky with my telescope.
