St Gabriel’s After School Care
OSHC by CatholicCare

CatholicCare, the social support agency of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Broken Bay, offers after school care services at our school between 3.00 – 6.00pm.   

Their passionate team of educators strive to create a space where children feel welcome and encouraged to experiment and grow and have extensive experience in disability support as well as mainstream OSHC operations.

This service is specifically designed to cater for the additional needs of children attending St Gabriel’s school with a ratio of support typically 3 times higher than a standard OSHC. As an onsite OSHC, we work closely with school teachers and other St Gabriel’s staff to ensure practices and support strategies are reflected consistently.

We provide a range of activities so that each child can engage in their interests including an art studio, outdoor activities, imaginative play, a fun construction area, wellbeing spaces … and much more! We pride ourselves on knowing the children that we care for and tailor our program around their interests so if there’s something that the children want to explore, we try to facilitate that opportunity.  

Central to this is creating strong relationships with the children. We focus on getting to know each child, their interests and hobbies, so that we can provide the best possible care and the children feel comfortable.

We know that OSHC is a priority for working families. Our goal is to have the children love coming here due to our fantastic program and caring educators. 

We are located at the end of the entrance driveway as you come into the school. Feel free to pop in for a visit any school day between 1.00pm - 6.00pm.

The service is registered to operate under the Child Care Subsidy scheme.

My son loves going to OSHC - at every pick up I see him happily engaged and playing with both peers and staff. The staff are great at accommodating the needs and interests of each child and I know that my son is well looked after
while in their care.
