Outside of school hours care (OOSH) Before and After School Centre
Our school has an on-site outside of school hours care (OOSH) service. This service operates before and after school. We also provide care during school holidays and school development days. This is known as vacation care.
At our OOSH, we focus on supporting each child's growth and wellbeing. We do this through fun programs that encourage curiosity and a love for learning.
Before and after school care
Our before and after school OOSH service is available to all children who attend our preschool and our school.
Hours
- Monday-Friday, 7:30-9:00 AM and 3:00-6:00 PM (during school term only).
Vacation care
Our OOSH vacation care service is available to all Preschool and K-6 children.

The Centre provides before and after school care and vacation care for children aged 4-12 years, attending Annandale Public School and Preschool.
Annandale After School Centre (AASC) is a community-based centre providing care for children aged 4-12 years for almost 30 years. AASC is an Incorporated Association led by a volunteer parent-based Management Committee that works closely with Annandale Public School, and with the P&C Association, although the Centre operates autonomously and independently from the School.
We recognise that many families need a reliable, flexible facility they can utilise with confidence, and that suits their work and family situation. We understand that you are entrusting to us your most precious possession - your child – and your child's safety and happiness is our first priority.
Most families will be eligible for a rebate on their fees from the Department of Human Services. For more information, visit: http://www.humanservices.gov.au/customer/themes/families
