Abbotsford Community Centre is a dynamic Out Of School Hours (OOSH) and Vacation Care service located on the grounds of Abbotsford Public School. The Centre provides a high-quality program aimed at creating a supportive environment in which children are able to explore, thrive and have fun. It is licensed to care for 150 children and uses a 1:12 staff-to-child ratio.
Before School Care
Before School Care (BSC) is open from 7:00 – 9:00 am. Breakfast is offered every morning from 7:30 – 8:15 am. The Centre runs a morning activity, targeted at making connections and building social skills before the children head out to enjoy some outdoor time or relax indoors.
At 8:30 am, children with permission to leave earlier are signed out, and at 8:45 am everyone packs away and gets their bags, ready to be taken to school by the Educators.
After School Care
After School Care (ASC) operates from 3:00 – 6:30 pm during NSW school terms (excluding public holidays).
From 3:00 – 3:30 pm, children are signed in and served afternoon tea, consisting of a nutritious meal and tasty snack, outsourced from a catering organisation called MiniMeals. The program hour runs from 4:00 – 5:00 pm, offering up to five activities for children to choose from, including Active Play, Creative Play, STEM activities, and Passive or Sensory Play, planned weekly by the Educators and Educational Leader.
At 5:00 pm, children are served an afternoon tea snack and activities are packed away. Children then engage in self-directed play and learning until 6:00 pm.
Vacation Care
Vacation Care is available from 7:00 am – 6:30 pm during NSW school holidays and pupil free days (excluding Public Holidays and two weeks over Christmas and New Year).
It adopts similar morning and afternoon routines to term time, with a mix of incursions such as Laser Tag and animal visits, and excursions like ice skating and trips to museums, zoos, and the cinema.
Children do not have to be regular users of ACC's Before and After Care programs to attend Vacation Care. Places can be booked by enrolling online or contacting the Centre.
