COVID-19 Guidelines
Lakes Entrance Primary School Council OSHC has developed a CovidSafe Plan in accordance with government guidelines.
In the case of a COVID-19 lockdown, this service will continue to run but capacity may be reduced. Bookings throughout Covid-19 lockdown will be subject to DET guidelines and approvals.
Illness / Absences
If your child is unwell, we ask that you please do not send them to school or to OSHC.
If a student becomes unwell whilst in our care, parents will be notified immediately and student will need to be collected.
Please notify the school via phone or OSHC Family Portal at your earliest convenience if your child will be absent due to illness. This will allow for any necessary changes to staffing, invoicing or procedures as well as allowing us to make sure staff are informed and any procedures that need to be put into place can happen in a timely manner, to maintain the health and safety of all staff and students in the service.
Fees & Payments
Before School care: $20 per day, per student
After School care: $25 per day, per student
CCS is available through Centrelink, we advise families to contact Centrelink to apply for the available childcare subsidy.
CCS is calculated on your individual circumstances and income. This is not something that Lakes Entrance Primary School Council OSHC can manage, all changes to family circumstances must be notified through Centrelink.
Once approved, Centrelink will pay the agreed subsidy amount directly to the OSHC service and families will only be required to pay for the remaining amount. The OSHC Family Portal will allow you to see your CCS Payments and outstanding amount owing to LEPS Council OSHC service.
Our preferred method of payment is Direct Debit, this can be set up through our OSHC Family Portal. Other payment methods are also available to families if required. Payments will be due at the end of each fortnight.
Payment plans can also be arranged for families, if you require a payment plan please discuss this with our service Coordinator – Danielle.
