At St. Francis of Assisi, we are very fortunate to have an extensive, inclusive and fully accredited Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) program with Vacation Care. Our program offers an inclusive environment for children of all abilities and uses the interests of children and their families as the foundation for our weekly themes and activities. Our partnerships with families and rapport with the children ensure that our program’s activities are child-centred and grounded in the individual needs and interests of the children. Children can participate in both active and passive activities, in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Activities include arts and crafts, creative construction spaces, active sports, reading corners and homework club. We endeavour to achieve best practice in all aspects of our program, striving to create a caring, stimulating and positive environment for all children. We are looking for an educator who is passionate, dedicated and hands-on to work with children in our Centre.
