Please see the end of this post for important reminders and changes to policy.
After the sensational Strawberry Fair the school took a day to
recover, by having a pupil free day. We spent the day creating with clay, ink
and Plasticine.
We had such an amazing time at Strawberry Fair, OSHC took care
of the drinks again this year. We couldn’t have chosen anywhere better on a hot
day! We were so proud of seeing our children involved in the community, many of
whom helped out at different stalls and did much more than was required of
them. Our signs were designed by OSHC kids, our bread was loving buttered for the fairy bread. We knew this was done by kids as they didn't butter the crust!
E.D.C- ‘This was the best year. I think we raised the most
money. The music was nice, there was French, Indian, Chinese and desserts.
Everyone enjoyed the day. It was great to see people having a laugh, seeing
some old friends and helping each other out.’
For the rest of the week we were back to normal routine.
Tuesday was blessed with decent weather. A group made up monkey-bar routines while others perfected their long jump technique. We are now focusing on our speed as we approach the take off.

Wednesday was our science day, with bug collecting (entomology)
and baking (chemistry). We baked Raspberry cupcakes with Orange frosting. We
thought it was important to sneak in as many fruits as we could!
In the SAC we were really pleased to see a group, design and
choreograph their own dance and perform it to staff and students. We are always
pleased to see children sharing their interests.
Friday was beautiful! The weather, the mood and the behaviour
was just beautiful. We even had enough staff that we had another cooking night.
We baked muesli and honey slice with sultanas. It was crunchy and gooey in all
the right ways. In the long room we chilled and watched Shaun the Sheep.

OSHC's Mobile Phone Policy
Bea has taken on the role of photographer this week and has added some photos to this blog to add to the 'Story of OSHC'.
OSHC is extending the school’s mobile phone policy. Children who collect their phones from the school office will
need to place their phone’s in a box at OSHC
and collect it when they go home. We have become aware of Children accessing the internet and contacting others whilst at OSHC. If children need to contact parents OSHC can do this for
them.
