Como Public School Outside School Hours Care

Como Out of School Hours Care Service proudly provides education and care for children from Kindergarten to Year 6 attending Como Public School. We operate five days a week during school terms (excluding public holidays), offering care from 7:00am to 9:10am and 3:25pm to 6:00pm, for a total of 40 weeks per year.

Children enjoy access to the full outdoor area, which supports a wide range of activities including sport, creative play, and relaxation. Whether it’s soccer, tennis, obstacle courses, or quiet time under a tree with a book, our outdoor program encourages children to move, engage, and unwind in ways that suit them.

Indoors, children have the opportunity to participate in thoughtfully planned experiences such as arts and crafts, pretend play, construction, games, and more. Our qualified educators implement the “My Time, Our Place” Framework, empowering children to make choices in how they spend their time, whether it’s being active, socialising with friends, or enjoying quiet moments.

We support children of all abilities and take pride in fostering an inclusive environment where every child feels valued. A nutritious afternoon tea is provided daily, and for families who would like their child to complete homework during the session, a dedicated educator is available to provide encouragement and support.

We understand that children's comfort and wellbeing go far beyond meeting their basic needs. That is why we draw on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to guide our practice—beginning with ensuring safety and security, and ultimately nurturing each child's self-esteem and potential to thrive.

We are excited to be a part of the Como Public School community and look forward to welcoming you and your child into our care.

Our students are supported and cared for by a team of dedicated and highly qualified educators who are passionate about creating a safe, inclusive and engaging environment for every child. Under the quality leadership of Adam, our Outside School Hours Care program fosters positive relationships, wellbeing and meaningful experiences that support children’s growth, confidence and sense of belonging.

Our service is located within the grounds of Como Public School, operating from the school’s Hall and Music Room. Students have access to the whole school grounds including the play equipment, sports courts and grassed area.
