Star of the Sea Outside School Hours Care provides before school care, after school care and vacation care. We are situated in the grounds of the Star of the Sea Catholic School. We are proud to support the families and children of the school, parish and local community.

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 an environment that celebrates diversity and interdependence and we encourage children to value and respect the individual uniqueness, spirituality and contribution of others.

Meet Our Staff

Courtney-Rae Welson

Coordinator

I’ve been an early ed coordinator:
Since 2019 and take great pride and joy in managing our service as my second home.

My favourite thing about being an early ed coordinator is:
Being able to provide children with a safe, happy, exciting and nurturing environment where they can be themselves through play & imagination. Also the joy I get from seeing the children’s faces on arrival truly warms my heart. But my favourite thing of all is watching them grow.

Something I like to tell all mums and dads is:
The many fun and exciting things their children get up to whilst at OSHC.

My favourite way to relax is:

Walking on the beach.
