Ipswich East State School OSHC Service Philosophy
Ipswich East Outside School Hours Care and Vacation Care Centre is a child-focused service where we value the importance of play and believe every child has the right to reach their full potential. Our service is a child safe organisation committed to promoting the safety, wellbeing and rights of all children.
We provide a safe, caring and supportive environment where children are encouraged to learn, grow and develop through freely chosen play-based experiences. Our indoor and outdoor environments promote creativity, imagination, exploration and discovery, while supporting children to build confidence, independence and positive relationships.
We value each child's individuality, culture, rights and opinions and strive to create an inclusive environment where all children and families feel welcome, respected and valued. We encourage children to have a voice in their experiences and to participate in decision-making within the service.
Strong relationships with families, educators and the wider school community are important to us. We encourage open and positive communication, family involvement and partnerships that support children's learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging.
Ipswich East State School OSHC encourages children to SOAR and be their best selves through inspiring environments and engaging experiences that support learning, imagination, confidence and discovery.
