July 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. Bop till you Drop will be performing a mad science show and the OSHC staff have planned some mystery games, Minute to Win it and Sports Day fun. We have invited back the seasoned coaches of Kinect for a next level skills program with blaze pods included. Finally, we are excited to announce that the educators from Learn with Bricks will be bringing and engaging opportunity for science technology and Lego engineering.
