What is PCYC OOSH (Out Of School Hours)?
PCYC Out of School Hours Care (OOSH) is a government subsidised Before School, After School, and Vacation Care program for children aged 5 to 12 years.
Our services operate during school term, school holidays and on Pupil Free Days, supporting families who work or study outside regular school hours, or extra experiences for their children.
OOSH services provide safe, engaging, and developmentally rich play and learning experiences. PCYC OOSH programs run within schools, community settings and PCYC clubs, with operating hours tailored to meet the needs of local families and school communities.
Where are PCYC OOSH centres located?
Our PCYC OOSH services can be found both in regional and metro NSW, based from our own PCYC clubs or within local primary schools. PCYC runs Vacation Care or School Holiday Programs at all of your local PCYC clubs.
