BASC & PRODUCTION

We have spoken to some parents this week who were not aware of the need to advise us if their children would not be attending care on production days.

Please note - unless we are advised otherwise, we will expect children to attend before and after care sessions as normal. Where cancellations are not made, applicable session charges will apply.

SEPTEMBER HOLIDAY PROGRAM

The program for the September holiday program is included in this bulletin.

An excursion to Scienceworks has been planned which will include a ferry trip along the Yarra River from Southbank to Scienceworks. We will travel back to school by bus, returning at approximately 3.30pm. This should a great day so we are hoping for some fine weather for the boat trip. Limited numbers apply so please book early for this excursion.

Also planned is an incursion with zoo on wheels and slot car racing. Zoo on Wheels will bring 15 ride-on animals in a range of sizes to accommodate all ages so it should be lots of fun. Mobile Raceways will bring a 6-lane slot car track for students to test their racing skills against each other. Limited numbers don’t apply to this incursion.

We are also offering the optional Subway lunch on Wheels Day so please make sure you submit your order, with payment, by end of term. Envelopes will be available from the OSHC centre from next week.

Enrolments open for BPS families Monday, 25 August Enrolments for non-BPS families Monday, 8 September Enrolments close for all families Friday, 12 September
