OUT OF SCHOOL HOURS CARE

ENROLMENT COMMITMENT AGREEMENT

It is a condition of enrolment to any of the OSHC services that a parent / caregiver initial each box in the table below to indicate acceptance of each of the commitments to the service.

I understand that the Alberton Primary School OSHC service is a user pays service, funded primarily through fees.
OSHC fees are charged one week in arrears and payable every week.
Fees are charged based on your child’s booked sessions. Each financial year your child is entitled to 42 days of absence whilst still being able to claim childcare benefit.
Normal fees are charged when your child is sick or absent from a booked session. However, if a booked session is cancelled with more than 48 hours notice there will only be a cancellation fee of $5 for Before and After School Care and $20 for Vacation Care.
Payments can be made in the following ways:
Cash at OSHC or the School’s Front Office, EFTPOS at Schools Front Office or
Direct deposit into the OSHC Bank account.
A deposit of $50 is required for enrolment in Before and After School programs and a deposit of $100 is required for enrolment in Vacation Care (including Student-free days).
Before School Care begins at 7 a.m. The session can begin up to 15 minutes early (6:45 a.m.). There is an extended morning fee of $3 for every 5 minutes early or part thereof. This applies to Vacation Care days also.
After School Care ends at 6 p.m. There is a late pick up fee of $7 for every 5 minutes late or part thereof.
If an account is overdue by 28 days, there will be a late payment fee of $25 added to the account. Each week the account remains overdue, there will be a further $10 added to the account until it is back to only one week in arrears.
If an account is overdue by 28 days or has $200 or more overdue, the child will not be able to access the service again under any circumstances until the account is back to only one week in arrears.
For any accounts that are referred to our debt collector for recovery, the parent/caregiver responsible for the account will be responsible for the Debt Collector’s charges and will be added to the total amount to be recovered.
If any of the following changes are made, the service must be notified immediately:
  • Address, telephone numbers and emergency contacts
  • Person/s authorised to collect your child
  • Changes in access authorisation
  • Your child contracts an infectious disease or illness
  • When your child is absent

Bookings must be made with OSHC directly. The school does not make bookings.
Inappropriate behaviour by children may result in them being excluded from the service for short or long term periods.

Each day your child attends the service, their arrival or departure time must be entered on the sign in sheet, along with a signature. This provides an accurate record of session attendance. It is also an important safety precaution – in case of emergency this list is used by staff to provide an instant guide to the children present.

I agree to the listed conditions of enrolment and understand that I am responsible for payment of fees each week.
