Outside Schools Hours Care
Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) services in the Diocese of Rockhampton are committed to providing for every child’s physical, emotional, spiritual and social development in a safe, caring and supportive environment.
At our Outside School Hours Care services we believe children are capable and confident learners. Children are active and engaged in experiences that are meaningful to them. They have the ability to make informed decisions with the support of our qualified educators. In our programs, children make sense of their world through creative interactions and experiences.
