It will be families responsibility to ensure they re-enrol by the specified date.  Failure to do so will mean their position at the service will become available to the next family on the waitlist.  There will be NO exceptions to this as care is in very high demand…….  In addition there will be a $5.00 administration fee for every re-enrolment processed and a $25.00 administration charge for all new sibling enrolments that are processed.

As part of the 2018 re-enrolment process, all families will be required to supply a copy of all enrolled children’s birth certificate for our records.  Please note this must be a copy of the original birth certificate.  Commemorative versions will not be excepted.

Re-enrolment will ONLY be executed via email to the applicable centre email address.  If you do not have a scanning facility available then please contact our Head Office on 02 8814 7610 to gain further instruction.  Under no circumstances will re-enrolment and enrolment forms going forward be excepted at the centres.  As email is our main communication tool, please check your emails to avoid disappointment…….

Due to the decrease in availability for AM & PM sessions in all centres it can be difficult for the centres to determine the exact number of available positions whilst caring for the children. This being the case we ask the following:

PM Session ALL Care Requests be emailed through to the respective centres email address regardless if it is for casual care or emergency care.

AM Session Casual requests (care required with more than 24 hours notice) needs to be emailed to the respective centres email address.

AM Session Emergency requests ONLY (care required within 24 hours) can be text through directly to your centres mobile contact numbers.

A Head Office staff member will respond to your email request ASAP.  Should you require an urgent confirmation then please do not hesitate to follow your email request through by calling Head Office on 02 8814 7610 Mon -> Thurs 9:00am – 4:30pm or Fri 9:00am – 2:30pm.

If you have a permanent or confirmed casual/emergency position and you are aware your child will be absent then it is essential to advise the centre of the child’s absence before the completion of the AM Session, prior to the PM Session commencing or prior to 9:00am during Vacation Care.  This is not to only ensure we have marked them correctly but it is to eliminate undue stress including the safety and well being of the child.

Acknowledgement of your absent advise will be sent back to you:

RHAC OOSH Mobile for texting absences is 0434 584 881

IRPS OOSH Mobile for texting absences is 0428 021 652

OLA OOSH Mobile for texting absences is 0423 420 605 

If a child is absent from a PM session then you will be sent a text stating they have not arrived and a $7.50 non notification/child will be charged to your account.  It is your responsibility to acknowledge the text and reply so we know your child is safe. Non advise of absences for Am Sessions and Vacation Care sessions automatically results in a $7.50 non notification fee being charged to your account and no text will be forwarded.

When dropping your child at the centre of a morning, please ensure an educator acknowledges that your child has arrived otherwise please ensure you let them know by way of a wave or gesture.

Due to the increased volume of cars coming and going before and after school it is imperative that all parents obey the internal road system at the school as they would any normal road.  Upon leaving the KT OOSH site either of a morning or afternoon, both the school and KT OOSH request parents not to disobey the no right turn sign and exit the school via the entry gates.  The normal exit gates up near J/H Block will be open from 6:45am until 6:30pm of an evening and all parents are to exit via these gates only.

Disobeying the internal road system and signage may result in a serious accident and this is something we wish to avoid.

Thank you for your co-operation and understanding regarding this matter.
