Our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) is part of the St Joseph’s Parish and Primary School community and has been operating for over 20 years. We offer before school care, after school care and vacation care.

Our service is very active within the community and the children and staff are encouraged to be involved in many projects. One prominent project is a community garden which we are organising with the parishioners and the school.

We are also part of the Active After School Community where qualified sporting coaches run workshops, in the afternoons, for a variety of sports. Our Coordinator, Debbie Healy, has also undertaken a six month course, “Yarn Up”, which teaches about cultural diversity in the area. All of these projects and endeavors help to enhance our service and the learning opportunities for children.

Meet Our Staff

Debra Healy

Coordinator

I’ve been an early ed coordinator for:
16 years
My favourite thing about being an early ed coordinator is:
The thing I value the most, is the connections formed with the families and the young people in our care. Watching them grow and develop into the wonderful people they are going to become and knowing I have play a small part in that.
Something I like to tell all mums and dads is:
Happy and secure children are ready to take on the next new stage of their life.
My favourite way to relax is:
One of my favourite pastimes is, enjoying the company of my family, over a good meal, a movie and board games.
