Outside School Hours Care

Redeemer Lutheran College offers an Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) service to families with enrolled students. The service is programmed primarily for students in Prep to Year 7. Senior students may also be accommodated if required.

Redeemer OSHC was the first service in Queensland to receive its accreditation as a part of the national Activated OSHC program. Activated OSHC is a world-first OSHC-specific program that focuses on increasing physical activity and ensuring screen time is used minimally and purposefully. Each of our OSHC educators have received specialised professional development to support the ongoing implementation of this program, and the team work together to maximise programmed opportunities that support the health and wellbeing of our children. Activated OSHC at Redeemer looks like extended time spent outdoors, structured and unstructured physical experiences, and lots of engagement between educators, children, and other specialists such as tennis coaches, incursion providers, and our very own Redeemer Sport team!

The OSHC Service has been established in compliance with Lutheran Education Queensland (LEQ) and the Office for Early Childhood Education and Care. Compliance covers program standards, physical environments, safety and educator qualifications. The program will address children's individual needs and interests and encompasses the Curriculum for School Age Children in Australia - My Time, Our Place.

We welcome the opportunity to work in partnership with you, sharing the exciting journey through Outside School Hours Care and providing your child with a safe, secure, supportive, challenging and stimulating learning environment.
