Out of School Hours Care
As a service to our families, the College operates an Outside School Hours Care program comprising Before and After School Care, and Vacation Care. Our programs cater for Primary aged students on campus in a culture consistent with the rest of the College. The centre is open both before and after school on all school days and throughout school vacation periods, catering not only to College students but also to other local students.
Our children have positive stimulating experiences and interactions outside of the more rigid structures of school that foster their self-esteem and confidence. The centre’s two main foci are to further promote learning and to encourage physical activity. On school days staff members support students in the completion of homework and daily reading. There are also abundant opportunities for physical activity and development with a particular emphasis on play, social interaction, recreational experiences, and active participation in a wide variety of sporting activities.
The centre is approved for the Child Care Subsidy and fees are very reasonable. View the 2025 NWCC Fee Schedule.
