Rocketeers (1)
On your child’s first Before School Care session, you’ll drop your child with us at the dedicated OSHC area at your school.
Our staff will meet with you and your child and address any anxious worries or questions either of you may have. Once you’re comfortable to leave, we’ll welcome your child into our activities.
Prior of the morning school bell ringing, our staff will walk with your child to their classroom to ensure they know where to go and to make sure they arrive happy and safe to continue their first day.
We understand the first After School Care session can be nerve-racking for parents and children. To make the process easier, our friendly staff will meet your child at their classroom to help them orientate and learn where they need to go for future sessions.
Our educators will introduce your child to the Coordinator, other educators and children who will be participating in the OSHC session.
During your child’s first session we also pair them up with a ‘buddy’ who will welcome them into the group and encourage them to build friendships and participate in activities.
At the end of your first session, we like to send you a text to see how it all went and how our new little member is feeling after their afternoon adventures. We appreciate all feedback so you can tailor our services to your family’s needs.
First time at Rocketeers?
We get it. Little minds can find starting a new holiday camp scary and daunting. Our mission is to ensure your child feels safe and welcomed to give them the opportunity to blast off into their day, make new friends, and have fun on new adventures.
Our friendly crew will meet with your child on the day, welcome them to the group and brief them on what the day will look like. If you or your child have any questions on the morning, our friendly staff will be more than happy to answer those for you.

Depending on your location, there are three main types of Before and After School Care for Your OHSC during the school term.
At Before School Care we start your child’s day with a healthy breakfast. We then build their confidence ahead of the school day by engaging in a social activity with their OSHC friends.
At After School Care we have a bigger activity planned to help your child learn through the experiences that they have. Plus, we provide a healthy afternoon snack to fuel their young minds.
Our Pupil Free Days see your child experiencing a full day of varied and tailored experiences. It’s a great way for your child to socialise with all their friends on their day off, whilst learning and building confidence. We’ll provide your child with a healthy breakfast and afternoon snack, but we do ask that you pack their lunch for the day and any other food that you may want them to have.
In every session of our Before and After School Care, your Coordinator and their team of highly trained educators hold showcase activities to engage the children and encourage their inquisitive minds.
Our programs align with My Time, Our Place Framework for School Age Care in Australia.
The exciting thing about Your OSHC is that no two days are the same.
Here are some examples of the activities we offer at Camp Australia:
Cooking delicious apple muffins or vegemite scrolls
A group sport activity like hockey or soccer
Relaxing mindfulness practices, including yoga and meditation
Board games
Art and craft
Construction and ‘building zones’
Performing arts
Reading
‘Quiet zone’ for resting after a big school day
We also offer Homework Club, where our educators will assist your child with their homework tasks. This is a great support, as they’re free to enjoy the evening at home without the stress of having to complete extra schoolwork.
While we would love to offer our Rocketeers Extraordinary School Holiday Program at more schools, our locations are based on booking numbers and demand within the school community, staff availability and location. We also need permission from the school, as well as required resources and space.
Your child can still attend a Rocketeers program, even if they’re not enrolled in the school where it takes place.
