Outside of school hours care (OOSH)

Our school has an on-site outside of school hours care (OOSH) service provided by Terrigal School Care. This service operates before and after school. Care is also provided during school holidays and school development days. This is known as vacation care.

The Centre employs highly qualified and experienced Educators who are dedicated to supporting your child to develop a strong sense of identity, wellbeing, and belonging. Terrigal School Care provide an educational program with activities that support the developmental needs of each age group. Throughout the year we offer specialist programs such as keyboard piano, dancing, tutoring, yoga, and more.

Before and after school care

Our before and after school OOSH service is available to all children who attend our school.

Hours

• Monday-Friday, 6:30-8:30 AM and 2:55-6:30 PM (during school term only).

Vacation care

Due to our overwhelming response of vacation care requests, we have now put in place only existing enrolments and future attending before & after school care children at Terrigal public school shall apply for vacation care bookings, therefore new enrolments just for vacation care will no longer be accepted from 15 October 2025 . Already existing vacation care families will continue to be accepted. At this stage no new enrolments just for vacation care will be accepted.
