OUT OF SCHOOL HOURS CARE

Rockhampton Girls Grammar Outside School Hours Care (RGGS OSHC) is a not for profit organisation and is licensed under the National Quality Framework - Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA). As such we are required to comply with all laws and current regulations.

At RGGS OSHC we acknowledge and appreciate all the demands on school age children and their families. It is with this knowledge of the pressure's families are under that we developed a before school supervised play service and after school/vacation care programs.

BEFORE SCHOOL SUPERVISED PLAY

Operates out of the Early Learning Centres playground from 7:15am daily (during term times) and is a free service.

AFTER SCHOOL CARE

Operates from 3:00pm to 6:00pm daily (during term time) out of the Early Learning Building. Access to this facilities is through the car park located at the bottom of the School.

VACATION CARE

Our Vacation Care also operates out of the Early Learning Building from 7:30am to 5:30pm during the school holiday periods.

After a structured day at school, it is important for children to have the chance to relax and participate in activities they enjoy. That's why we provide a selection of planned and free play activities, offering children plenty of choice.

Our educators ensure the implementation of a nationally approved program based on the principles for the 'My Time, Our Place Framework' that fosters the importance of both relaxation and play. Participants attending our service have access to a wide variety of stimulating and developmentally appropriate activities, including a wide range of cultural, artistic as well as recreational activities.

At Girls Grammar our Out of School Hours Care goals are to:

Provide all children with a safe, secure + inclusive environment.

Utilise and encourage the use of special skills, expertise and diversity of our families, community and staff members.

Promote the value of play and recreational activities which meet the development needs and interests of all children.
