Our Outside School Hours Care is located in a purpose built space as part of the St Finbarr’s Catholic Primary School.

We strive to provide a program that is supportive of working families by creating a safe environment during before and after school care which caters to their children’s ages, skills, interests and abilities. So our program is flexible child-initiated, it encourages free play and provides both indoor and outdoor, individual and group experiences.

Meet Our Staff

Nicole Benson

Coordinator

I’ve been an early ed coordinator:
Since 2020 but I have 12 years experience in early years education, having worked my way from a Director in Training and Kindergarten Teacher to Coordinator.
My favourite thing about being an early ed coordinator is:
I am a big advocate for Early Education and believe we need to show our appreciation for and see the programs implemented as important to children’s development and learning. I believe is it important to support children through approaches that come naturally to them such as play based learning.
Something I like to tell all mums and dads is:
Children all develop and learn at their own pace and we are here to support them on that journey. I also like to tell parents that we are always here to support them, my door is always open.
My favourite way to relax is:
Outdoors going on walks with my dog Rick or spending time with my family and friends.
