OUT OF SCHOOL HOURS (OOSH) CARE

CatholicCare runs our on-site Out Of School Hours (OOSH) Care at St Thomas More. Their dedicated team of education professionals are university trained early childhood teachers or TAFE trained Diploma educators who support and respect the uniqueness and individuality of children and their families.

CatholicCare's educators aim to collaborate with the children in their care to provide play and leisure opportunities that are meaningful to them and support their wellbeing, learning and personal development.
