Out of School Hours Care

The Heights OSHC and Vacation Care

We are a child focused program that provides recreational care for children aged 4-13 years, in a warm, safe and caring environment.

We provide care in our before and after school care sessions as well as pupil free days, and we are also open during the school holidays!

We are a successfully accredited, quality assured service.

April Vacation Care 2023 is here! Check out all the exciting themed days, incursions and excursions for the upcoming holidays!
We have planned a variety of incursions and plenty of first-time experiences. Circus Elements are bringing an entertaining performance and the OSHC staff have planned some cooking and quiz fun, while Wheels Day is back by child demand. We have invited a few seasoned sport coaches to come on site and run skills and development programs. Finally, we are excited to announce that the state’s one and only inflatable soccer stadium will be landing at OSHC!

Excursions include a nice mix of indoor and outdoor activities catered to your child’s age. Children can look forward to plenty of playground adventures at some of your favourite parks and locations. More outdoor fun includes a trip to Gorge Wildlife Park and Morialta, followed by a luncheon at Fasta Pasta! Other excursions include Hoyts Cinema, Timezone, Inflatable World and a trip to the nations first immersive footy and entertainment centre, AFL Max!
