Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) and Vacation Care

Forbes Primary School offers Before School Care (BSC), After School Care (ASC), and Vacation Care programs for students enrolled at Forbes Primary School. These services support families who require childcare while working or studying. 

The Forbes Primary School Governing Council manages these programs through its OSHC Committee. All services operate within Department for Education guidelines, and all relevant school policies apply equally to OSHC and Vacation Care.

Purpose Statement
Our OSHC exists to provide a high-quality service to students enrolled at Forbes Primary School that reflects our school motto: Never less than your best. We aim to ensure consistent care, a deep understanding of each child’s needs, and a safe, engaging environment for all.

Bookings and Cancellations
Bookings must be made in advance to secure a place. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the session begins to avoid being billed for the booking.

Guiding Framework
Our OSHC program is guided by the national framework My Time, Our Place – Version 2.0, which supports children’s wellbeing, learning, and development in school-age care settings. This framework aligns with our values and practices, ensuring the experiences we provide are meaningful, engaging, and connected to children’s lives.
