After School Care
St Paul’s Outside School Hours Care service contributes to a healthy and successful life for school aged children by providing quality care and recreational experiences after school, on pupil free days and in vacation care periods.
Program
We offer a range of appropriate activities and experiences that encourage children to interact with friends, learn life skills, solve problems, practice social skills, try new experiences and feel happy, safe and relaxed. Activities and experiences include games, art and craft, sport, music and movement, cooking, reading, drama, science, homework, computer games and excursions.

The Framework for School Age Care builds on the Early Years Learning Framework and extends the principles, practice and outcomes to accommodate the contexts and age range of the children and young people who attend school age care settings.
My Time, Our Place - Framework for School Age Care in Australia will form part of the Council of Australian Government's reform agenda for childhood education and care and will be a key component of the Australian Government's National Quality Framework for childhood education and care.
It will be incorporated in the National Quality Standard in order to ensure delivery of nationally consistent and quality school age care across sectors and jurisdictions.
The Framework will ensure that children in school age care will have opportunities to engage in leisure and play-based experiences which are responsive to the needs, interests, and choices of the children attending the service and contribute fully to their ongoing development.
It will support and provide guidance to educators working with school age children in outside school hours care, long day care, and family daycare settings.
