About Us

About OOSH Newcastle Group

We strive to provide a happy, safe, and relaxed environment for your children, with our friendly and caring staff. Our centres have a comfortable, home like feel for school aged children 4 to 12 years. We understand that for some families the pressures of work can fall after school hours which is why we provide the care before and after school.

Our Commitment

OOSH Newcastle Group prides itself on delivering the highest quality standards of service that supports the needs of all children in a safe, stimulating, and supportive environment. We are excited to immerse ourselves within the strong culture of the broader school community by forging new relationships with both staff and families to offer reliable Out of Hours Care.

Children are shaped by their experiences; therefore, we aim to offer a positive experience for all our children by celebrating diversity and building on each other’s skills and knowledge bases so that children may feel a strong sense of identity. Most importantly we aim to foster the wellbeing of our children by forming caring relationships that are built on the bases of respect and appreciation of all cultures.

Our Approach

Children require a strong support network to grow and feel a sense of belonging. It is for this reason that we encourage children and parents to be active in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of our program to offer a service that targets the needs of the school community. We are guided by the National Framework of My Time, Our Place which details the learning outcomes for all children, so that they may become active members of society.
