Out of school hours care (OSHC)
Burton Primary School OSHC is a service dedicated to providing local families with quality care which is accessible and supportive. We aim to provide a fun, nurturing, stimulating and educational environment in which children’s leisure time is supported through fun, flexible programs that meet their needs.
Our out of school hours care (OSHC) service is operated by our school’s governing council. It’s available for children aged 4 to 13 before or after school, on pupil free days and during school holidays. Our service follows the National Quality Framework (NQF) standard and is responsive to each child’s needs.
At OSHC, children interact with friends, learn life skills, solve problems and try new things. They do activities like:
- arts, crafts and cooking
- outdoor games and gardening
- excursions (for vacation care).
Children are given breakfast at before school care and a snack at after school care.

OSHC documents
Enrolment at OSHC
All children need to be enrolled with OSHC before they are able to attend the OSHC program. Enrolment forms will need to be completed and returned so that children can be entered onto the Child Care Management System which reports all child attendances to the Family Assistance Office.
Upon enrolment a $20 payment will be paid by parents enrolling their children into OSHC which will put their account in credit and cover the costs of OSHC fees while a direct debit form is set up to allow OSHC fees to be debited directly from parent’s bank accounts on a weekly basis. Fees will only be debited when parents owe OSHC fees. All family accounts will need to remain in credit to continue to use the OSHC program.
Burton Primary School OSHC does not provide care for kindergarten children. Children starting Reception in term 1 of each year can access OSHC from the January holidays.
