We are delighted to share some fantastic news with our school and wider community! The results of the recent feasibility survey conducted by the Department of Education have come back extremely positive. This is a huge milestone in our efforts to bring an Out of School Hours (OOSH) service to Gundagai, and we couldn’t have done it without your support.
Thanks to the valuable feedback and strong community response, the delivery support team is now moving forward with a delivery model that is tailored to suit the specific needs of Gundagai families. This is a significant step toward making OOSH a reality, ensuring that local children have access to high-quality care before and after school, as well as during school holidays.
An OOSH service will be a game-changer for our town, providing working families with much-needed support, offering children a safe and engaging environment, and strengthening our sense of community. Having access to reliable and well-structured out-of-school care will benefit not only families but also employers and the broader community by increasing flexibility for working parents.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the survey. Your input has been instrumental in demonstrating the need for this service, and your support has helped drive this project forward. Community engagement has been key to achieving this positive outcome, and we truly appreciate the effort each of you has made.
We will continue to keep you updated as the delivery model takes shape and look forward to seeing the benefits this service will bring to Gundagai. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months—exciting times ahead!
