At St Joseph's Memorial Outside School Hours Care we strive to provide high quality care and experiences that teach students new skills, knowledge, values, strategic thinking and respect in a positive, safe, challenging, enjoyable environment. Fostered by a co-operative link between school, parents and the community.

Within this environment we ensure that each child experiences growth through confidence. We promote ‘yearning for learning’ that provides children with educational experiences that are varied, interesting and challenging.

Children learn best with a program that is free from bias, is multi-cultural and has a balance of first hand experiences, quality interactions with adults and is rich in academic, social, emotional, and physical experiences that promote middle childhood development.
