A Safe, Engaging Extension of the School Day
Our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program provides a welcoming and nurturing environment where children can continue learning, exploring and connecting beyond the classroom.
Available for children in Children’s House and Primary, our after-school and holiday programs reflect the Montessori philosophy by providing child-centred experiences that encourage independence, creativity and meaningful play.
Whether relaxing after a busy school day, participating in creative activities or enjoying time outdoors, children are supported by caring educators in a safe and engaging environment.
Our OSHC program operates during school terms, providing a relaxed and supportive environment from the end of the school day until 6:00pm, Monday to Friday.
Afternoon tea is provided in line with the College’s Healthy Eating Policy.
Holiday Program
During school holidays, our Holiday Program operates Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 6:00pm. Check the dates each year for opening days over December and January.
Each holiday program features a variety of engaging experiences, including creative workshops, outdoor activities, incursions and excursions that encourage children to explore new interests while having fun in a familiar environment.

Bookings are essential for both the After-School and Holiday Programs.
