OSHC

Information
Craigburn Primary Governing Council is responsible for running Craigburn OSHC & Vacation Care services. The service is funded by the Commonwealth Government through the Child Care Benefit Scheme and operates in the multi-purpose room and gym at Craigburn Primary.

Our aim is to provide childcare through a high quality recreational program that meets the individual needs of primary aged children in a safe, friendly & nurturing environment. Through our program, children are encouraged to make new discoveries, extend their interests, build positive relationships with their peers and staff and share their skills and knowledge with each other.

If you have any questions regarding the OSHC program or any aspect of the service, please do not hesitate to contact me.

If you wish to use the service, you are required to register and bring your child to meet the Director and other staff, so we gather all the information we require and your child can see the OSHC service in action before they attend. The Family Handbook and Enrolment forms are available from the OSHC room, school reception or can be downloaded here:

An OSHC newsletter is prepared twice a term to keep parents/carers up to date with what is happening at OSHC.

Vacation Care (7.00am – 6.15pm)
We provide a recreational program during the school holidays, which includes a wide range of fun and exciting school based activities and excursions.

Volunteers

Volunteers can make a significant contribution to the school community by giving their time and sharing their skills with others. Volunteers possess a wide range of interests and abilities that complement school programs, thus providing rich interactions and experiences for students.

The participation of volunteers at Craigburn Primary School is highly appreciated and valued. While the welfare of our students is our highest priority, we want to do everything possible to ensure that volunteers are provided with the necessary support to ensure their involvement is rich and rewardings.

Parent / caregiver volunteers who attend overnight camps or sleepovers are required to undertake a personal history clearance, which is organised through the school.

All volunteers are required to undertake a Responding to Abuse and Neglect training (RAN) session, which is offered throughout the school year.
