Enquiries and Staff

See the Co-ordinator, Gabriele in the afternoons for enquiries regarding enrolments and bookings, programming, policy, administration and Quality Assurance, fees, CCB, statements and reminder notices. We encourage feedback and input from parents in relation to the program, policies or other issues relating to the centre. The ASSCO OOSH Committee members are also available to address your concerns.

Bookings

Booked days are regular days of the week throughout a term and charged at the discount rate if paid for in advance. Casual bookings are extra or irregular days, charged at the standard rate. If bookings are not paid in advance they will be charged at the standard rate. To be booked in for a day means that day is paid for two weeks in advance and may not be swapped for another day. If you are unable to attend, you will not be refunded for the day. If you wish to attend extra days, standard rates will apply.At the beginning of first term, you must pay a month in advance for Before and After School Care and fortnightly after that.

Fees Payment

Fees must be paid between the hours of 7-9am and 2.30-6pm. Parents must show a staff member the amount then both the staff member and the parent will sign an interim receipt which they will then keep. Money then goes in the green mailbox beside the noticeboard. Computer receipts are subsequently processed on a weekly basis.

Yarrunda Temorah Publications

Periodically we publish documents and programs for parents to download that relate to programs that we are running, centre policies and/or policies that require community consultation.

Casual Usage

Please inform both the OSHC Centre and the School or Pre-School that your child will be attending so we know to collect them. Drop by in the morning to let us know if you’d like to book a casual day or leave a message on the answering machine 9516 3756. Casual bookings must be paid for on or before the day. If your child does not attend, you will still have to pay for the booking because we may have had to hire an extra staff member. We are a not for profit service so we seek you prompt attention and understanding with our booking policy.

A community Partnership

Yarrunda Temorah (unlike other OSHC services) is a school based service of Australia Street Infants School. It is managed and run by ASSCO (Australia Street School Community Organisation) in partnership with the school. Through this partnership we are able to provide a commitment to deliver a high quality service for all students, whilst also ensuring that all staff are trained and adhere to  NSW Department of Education and Training  policies including those relating to child protection and codes of conduct.
