Outside School Hours Care

Moreton Bay College offers Before and After School and Vacation Care for students from Prep - Year 7. Placement preference will be given to working families of MBC students.  Students of MBBC and siblings of MBC students will be given next priority. We are obliged to offer any other available places to other working families in the local community.

Opening Hours

• After School Care operates 2.00pm - 6.00pm, Monday to Friday during term time

The OSHC Centre is closed on public holidays and for a three week block at Christmas. Please see the Co-ordinator for actual closing dates each year.

Program

Our OSHC Co-ordinator oversees all programs and ensures that activities are planned and implemented according to the children’s ages and interests. Prep and Year 1's are grouped together in the afternoon, while the Year 2 to 7's are grouped together in the OSHC building. At 4.15pm, the Prep and Year 1's will move up to the OSHC building to join the older children.

The children participate in a range of fun and stimulating activities which include art, craft, games, cooking, sewing, computers and outdoor play. They are also able to do their homework and relax with their friends in a safe and comfortable environment. Children are also escorted to and from extra-curricular activities as required. No meals or snacks are provided.

All students attending OSHC must be registered.  Registration forms are available from the OSHC Co-ordinator. All details must be completed fully and any changes to details must be notified as soon as possible.
