Parklands OSHC
A place to belong, grow, and be known
At Parklands Christian College OSHC, we offer more than care outside of school hours, we create a space where children feel safe, valued, and supported.
Our service is grounded in strong relationships, genuine care, and a sense of belonging. We aim to support each child not only in their daily routines, but in their confidence, character, and sense of identity within a nurturing, faith-shaped environment.
Whether children are starting their day, winding down after school, or joining us during the holidays, our focus is on creating a calm, engaging space where they can play, connect, and thrive.
A nurturing and supportive environment
Children are known, cared for, and encouraged in a space where they feel safe to be themselves. Our educators prioritise strong, respectful relationships and a positive atmosphere where every child feels they belong.
Growing the whole child.
Through everyday interactions and experiences, we gently encourage kindness, responsibility and a sense of purpose.
Child-led program
Our program is shaped by children’s interests and voices, offering a balance of creativity, active play, connection, and rest. We create opportunities for children to explore, make choices, and engage in ways that are meaningful to them.
A connected College community
As part of Parklands Christian College, our OSHC reflects the same values and heart as the wider school. We work in partnership with families to support children in a consistent, caring environment.
Before and After School Care Programs
Before and After School Care Our before and after school care program supports children at both ends of the school day in a way that feels steady, enjoyable, and familiar.
Mornings offer a gentle start, with breakfast available and time for quiet or social activities before heading into class. In the afternoons, children can unwind and enjoy a variety of experiences including craft, construction, outdoor play, group games, and opportunities to relax. We aim to create a rhythm that helps children feel settled, supported, and ready, whether they are beginning or finishing their day.

After School Care: 3:00pm – 6:00pm
Vacation Care Program
