Year 6 – Kite Flying with a Message
Last semester, as part of the Year 6 Indonesian program, students completed a unit of work centred around sport, looking at sports popular both in Australia and Indonesia. As part of this topic, students were required to design and construct a kite; kite flying being a popular sport in Bali. The kites were decorated with an environmental message – and the results were impressive! During the last lesson of term, we had the opportunity to fly the kites and even though it was not a windy day, the kites flew amazingly well and the students had a great time running around the school oval seeing who could get their kite to fly the highest.

Hello to all our OSHClub families, we hope you had a lovely weekend!

This week’s goal is: Children take increasing responsibility for their own health and physical wellbeing.

They will achieve this goal through various activities such as:

• Recycling: Arts and Crafts
• Role play: Supermarket
• Plus, many more!

We can’t wait to see you there!

Below is some valuable information for new parents and any changes that have been made to policies or procedures at OSHClub.

• At NO TIME are your children out of our sight. We pride ourselves on being vigilant and our priority is the safety and wellbeing of your child.
• Please understand that from 2.40 pm we have children arriving after school to OSHClub. It is essential we are greeting each child, ensuring that they are safely within our boundaries and we are often busy collecting smaller children from their classroom.
• Due to the above please understand our need for you to contact us between 7-9 am or after 3 pm in the afternoon to discuss any issues.
• If we do not answer your call, we are involved with the children. Please leave a text message and we will get back to you asap.
• If you have any difficulties or problems with your Account, you must contact our Customer Service Accounts number on 1300 395 735.

Parents please note: We are not permitted to have anyone on the premises prior to 7 am or after 6 pm. This is non-negotiable and if you are unable to drop/collect your child within the time frame you will need to organise an alternative person to drop/collect your child.

YOUR BOOKING IS NOT CONFIRMED UNLESS YOU HAVE HAD WRITTEN OR VERBAL COMMUNICATION FROM US. You may note that we have places available although this does not represent the Educator/child ratio which is what determines if we are able to add a booking. This ratio is 1:10 (one educator to 10 children)
Everything that we do is for the benefit of your child’s health and wellbeing. We continually strive to make OSHClub an enjoyable experience which is stimulating and fun for all the children. Our Weekly Program and menu is displayed in the undercover area for your viewing.

Below is important regarding medical conditions:

• Any medication and the required forms that your child may need. (If you are unsure of the forms required for your child please do not hesitate to ask.)
• We keep a copy of expiry dates and email you with new forms and medication reminders a few weeks prior to expiration. Please note that your child will be unable to attend OSHClub if they do not have their correct forms and medication required.

PARENTS PLEASE ENSURE YOUR CHILD HAS A HAT, AND JACKET AS THE WEATHER IS BECOMING A LOT COLDER.

We look forward to seeing during the week.
