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.

July Vacation Care 2022 is here! Check out all the exciting themed days, incursions and excursions for the upcoming holidays we have planned!

We have many fun incursions such as Funtime for Kids providing some fun giant boardgames and MEGA Lego blocks as well as OSHC arranging an around the world experience as children receive stamps on their passports and learn about the different countries!
Like every school holiday the most popular activities of all are our excursions as we head to Mega Courts, MARS sporting complex and even trying a Fasta Pasta Lunch! For the first time based from children and families verbal feedback, we are even trialing a split movie!

Don’t forget to read the Vacation Care information and book in fast to avoid disappointment!
