April Vacation Care Highlights

As we head into Term 2, I’d like to share some of our highlights from April School Holidays! Our Vacation Care program was packed with excursions, activities and plenty of fun!

We kicked things off with Minecraft Day, where the children brought the pixelated world to life through crafts, games, and themed snacks. We tested our skills at X-Golf, soaked up the sunshine at Tanunda Recreation Park, and celebrated Easter with egg hunts, and lots of themed activities, crafts and cooking.

After the long weekend, we zoomed into action with Pedal Karts Day, then headed out on an adventure to the Big Rocking Horse, where we climbed high, fed animals, and played mini golf. We wrapped up the holidays with a super fun Children’s Choice Day—a highlight where the children took the reins and planned their dream day!

We endeavor to keep the fun going into Term 2 at OSHC. With even more fun and children-led activities during before- and after-school care, I am so excited for the term ahead.

Our service will be transitioning to a new software called OWNA this term. This parent booking and communication app will streamline processes for the families who use our service. For more information, please visit our School Stream app.

Wishing you all a wonderful term ahead 🙂

Warm Regards,

Caitlin

2025: Term 1 – Week 10 Program

Oh, what a week—it was Seuss-y and sweet!

With ideas galore from our clever crew,
We crafted and giggled the whole week through!
From Cats in Hats to Fox in Socks,
To Lorax dreams and Things in flocks!
A Wocket even popped out of a pocket—
This week was wild, we couldn’t stop it!

A celebration of rhyme, of fun, and delight—
Our Dr. Seuss Week was out-of-sight!
