First Reconciliation Ceremonies
Please pray for our Year 3 students who are making the Sacrament of Reconciliation this week. One ceremony was held last night at the Saint Simon Peter Church and the other ceremony will occur tomorrow evening at the same venue. 

All Saints Liturgy
On Friday, we will celebrate a liturgy in the school hall for the Feast of All Saints. The liturgy will be held at 11.00am and all parents are warmly invited to attend. Each child from Pre-Primary to Year 6 is asked to bring in an item to place on the prayer focus. This can be one of three things:
1. A photo of a loved one who has passed away.
2. A prayer written on a small card (no larger than A5) for a loved one who has died
3. A picture of a saint that your family holds dear (no larger than A5).

Literacy Blocks – Spotlight on Year One!
In Year One, in Talk 4 Writing, we have been learning about The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We have made our very own story maps to show the steps of the story. In Reading, we have been learning how to perform Reader’s Theatre with Mrs Martin. This group was learning to perform The Gingerbread Man. The teacher guided group has been focusing on describing words about horses. (Mrs Jenna Crosby and Miss Megan Groves)

2020 Book Lists
2020 class booklists have now been constructed and are in their final stages with our supplier, Campion. This year we have made a real effort to keep our book lists around $100, as we understand that this can be a huge expense for families at the beginning of every school year. Book lists will be distributed to parents via email; there will not be any paper copies this year.

Semester Two Reports and SEQTA Engage
At the end of the Term Four (Wednesday 11 December) reports will go out to parents via an app called SEQTA Engage. You will receive an email in the coming weeks to allow you to create your logins and passwords. Once you have created these logins you will gain access to your children’s reports when they are distributed.   Reports grades and comments are based on Term Three and Term Four work only.
The grading scales used are as follows:
A The student demonstrates excellent achievement of what is expected for this year level.
B The student demonstrates high achievement of what is expected for this year level.
C The student demonstrates satisfactory achievement of what is expected for this year level.
D The student demonstrates limited achievement of what is expected for this year level.
E The student demonstrates very low achievement of what is expected for this year level.

Learning Area Effort – student work scale:
O Outstanding
VG Very good
S Satisfactory
I Inconsistent
U Unsatisfactory

Program Update

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

Walk-ins/ Late Bookings
Please be aware that our numbers are growing during the BSC and ASC. Due to this, we will not be accepting walk-ins as we will be over our educator to child ratio 1:10. If you do require a late booking, please try to contact us a day before to ensure we can provide care for your child/ children.

This week’s goal is: Children becoming involved Learners.

They will achieve this goal through various activities such as:

• Abstract art
• Crossword puzzles
• Group games
• Role play: Emergency Service role-play
• 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.  f 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 organize 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 ALOT COLDER.

We look forward to seeing during the week.
If you have any queries regarding your Account, Bookings or Cancellations, please contact our Customer Service Team on 1300 395 735.

Warm Regards
Diana, Sophie and Hanaa.
