KT OOSH Services Location – RHAC 2018

Due to the increase in numbers and the limited space available for the children, the school and KT OOSH Services will be relocating years 3 -> 6 to J Block in 2018.  This will give the children a bigger outside play area and also freeing up A Block outside area for the younger children.  Suggestions and ideas were gained from the children also at the end of Term 4 and they are excited about the change in location instead of working out of the school library.

Both the school and KT OOSH Services understand that this maybe an inconvenience if you have two pickup/drop off locations but under our regulations we cannot continue to operate out of the library with the volume of children attending.

Kindergarten -> Year 2 students will remain down in A Block as normal.

PLEASE NOTE: There maybe times where the service has to be consolidated but families will be informed via our Facebook page of any last minute changes.
