St.Sebastian’s Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) is part of the St. Sebastian’s Parish and Primary School community. St. Sebastian’s OSHC is a small service, which gives educators the opportunity to really get to know the children and their families.

Our educators are qualified and have extensive experience working with children. We pride ourselves on the fun quality program we offer the children at before and after school care and vacation care. At St Sebastian’s OSHC you will often find us gardening, painting, playing sport, cooking, role playing… there are so many choices.

Our program is developed in collaboration with the children and seeks to promote the learning outcomes of ‘My Time, Our Place’ – framework for school aged care. We welcome input from families and the community to enrich this program and improve learning outcomes for all children.

Meet Our Staff

Nathan Reed-Jensen

Coordinator

I have been an early ed coordinator since:
July 2019.

My favourite thing about being an early ed coordinator is:
Watching children grow and develop over the years. OSHC educators can be present for the entirety of a student’s primary schooling. 6 years! The preppies from when I started in the sector will be going to high school next year and that blows my mind every time I think about it. It is an honour, a privilege and why I could do this for the rest of my life.

Something I like to tell all mums and dads is:
Outside school hours care is such an amazing opportunity for families. It is a home away from home, a place to enjoy new experiences and a hangout spot to catch up with friends. A community-focused service with a passionate group of educators can create a dynamic program that supports a child’s social and emotional development that will easily complement their academic endeavours. I maintain that outside school hours care programs are beneficial for all children and families, not just working ones.

My favourite way to relax is:
Hanging out with my son. Sometimes he even allows me to choose what we do.
