🌟 It’s OOSH Educator Day! 🌟
Let’s give a big shoutout to the incredible educators who care for, support and inspire our kids every day before and after school and during school holidays vacation care!
Our Rainbow OOSHC team brings warmth, energy, creativity and calm — often all in one day! They’re the friendly faces at drop-off, the problem-solvers, the encouragers, the ones who make each child feel seen, heard and safe.
💛 Today, we’re asking our community to help us show them some love!
👉 Here’s how you can help:
✨ Leave a kind comment below
✨ Share a story or memory about your child’s experience
✨ Post a drawing, note or photo of appreciation
✨ Encourage your child to say “thank you” at pick up
✨ Or just let our educators know they’re making a difference 💬💕
Let’s flood this page with gratitude and make our educators’ day a special one!

🌿 NAIDOC Week 2025: With a Show of Hands 🤲🏾🖤💛❤️

Our children proudly raised their painted hands in celebration of NAIDOC Week — honouring the histories, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

With a show of hands, we stand together in respect, unity, and learning. Through art, storytelling, and shared experiences, our young ones are learning the importance of culture, identity, and connection to Country.

Every handprint tells a story — of belonging, of listening, and of growing together. ✨
