Our Day Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) The Out of School Hours Care Centre is a great venue for social interaction, to do homework, to relax or to acquire new talents and friends. Catering for children aged 3 to 12 years, the service is open: • Before School Care (BSC) 7:00am – 8:45am • After School Care (ASC) 3:00pm – 6:00pm • Vacation Care or Student Free Days 7:00am – 6:00pm Children can attend clubs and swimming lessons provided by the school and are provided with nutritious meals at each end of the day. The Centre has a strong philosophy which encapsulates Guildford Grammar School’s core values as well as embracing the My Time Our Place curriculum and Out of School Hours Care Framework. • In our place, every child is encouraged to develop to their full potential. The Centre is staffed by a qualified coordinator supported by both permanent and casual staff who are all experienced and relevantly qualified in the education and care of children. There are always staff on hand who are trained to provide first aid in an education and care setting which incorporates anaphylaxis and asthma response as well as diabetes and safe food handling training. The management team are also able to administer prescribed medication should it be required. The service is eligible for Childcare Subsidy which parents apply for through MyGov. This is means tested and each family has an amount awarded. Enrolments for the service are though the online Smartcentral portal supported by SmartFees, the service’s childcare software provider.
