St Joachim’s Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) is part of the St Joachim’s Primary School and Holland Park Mt Gravatt Parish. We operate out of a purpose built facility adjacent to the parish hall.
Our program supports working families by providing a safe environment during before school, after school and vacation care that is designed to cater to their children’s age, skills, interests and abilities. The programs are fun-filled and child focused with contributions from our children forming the basis of every experience.
We run a flexible and adaptable child-initiated program incorporating children’s ideas, cultures and interests. We view each child as having preparedness, potential, curiosity and interest in constructing their own learning and in negotiating everything the environment presents to them. We provide guidance and support to children so they can discover, explore and create something new everyday.
Our centre strives to foster a culture that celebrates diversity and interdependence and we encourage children to value and respect each other.

Helping children to achieve their full potential and to see them grow through their early school years.
Something I like to tell all mums and dads is:
How much their children enjoy coming to the OSHC and making new friends of all ages.
My favourite way to relax is:
Spending time with family and friends.
Your child’s health and wellbeing is our top priority and we recognise the essential role sleep, rest and relaxation plays in your child’s development.
As children grow they develop confidence and self-esteem from their interactions with others. There are a number of things you can do to help your children grow into confident young people, and in this article we look at some simple strategies you can use to build your child’s self-esteem.
Just as we all have different interests, tastes and preferences, we all have different ways of learning. This is especially true of young children, who will all learn in different ways and at their own pace. It’s important to allow children to learn and grow in the way that suits them best.
