5 ways to keep children engaged over the holidays
As families prepare for the upcoming break, it’s important to remember how much children rely on meaningful experiences to thrive.
Star of the Sea Outside School Hours Care provides care for Star of the Sea Primary School families. We are committed to offering affordable, quality care for all, ensuring each child’s physical, emotional and social needs are met in a safe, caring and supportive environment.
During our before, after school and vacation care sessions, children are encouraged to engage in a wide range of supervised indoor and outdoor experiences, including arts and crafts, construction and block play, board games, cooking, science activities, sports and organised group games.
Our dedicated educators work closely with children to create a consistent and nurturing environment where every child feels welcome, supported and ready to learn, play and grow.
Our Coordinators and Educators do more than oversee daily routines, they truly get to know each child. From remembering their interests to recognising their individual strengths, our team creates an environment where every child feels welcomed and understood. With genuine conversations, thoughtful guidance and engaging activities, children feel supported, included and confident to be themselves. Their commitment ensures each child’s time at OSHC is positive, nurturing and full of opportunities to grow.
Children build friendships and confidence as they explore activities that match their interests, whether it’s creative indoor games or active outdoor play. Each session offers a balance of fun, learning and connection, helping them feel supported and engaged. Families can feel comfortable knowing their children are safe, happy and thriving while they get on with their day.
Children can enjoy a light morning breakfast and a tasty afternoon snack during OSHC, prepared fresh onsite by our team. A light breakfast helps them ease into the day, while our afternoon snacks keep them fuelled after school. From fruit and wholesome bites to simple handmade favourites, we make sure every child has the energy they need to feel their best and enjoy their time with us.
