Orana Heights Outside School Hours operates within the grounds of Orana Heights Public School and has 60 places for Before and After School Care and Vacation Care.
We’re open from 6am – 9:15am for Before School Care with breakfast provided, 3:00pm – 6:00pm for After School Care with afternoon tea provided and 7:30am – 6:00pm during Vacation Care.
We create an environment that is homely, caring and stimulating for children from kindergarten to year 6. We pride ourselves on a strong curriculum, supported by the Australian Government’s ‘My Time, Our Place’ framework for school-age care.
Children are invited to join in a variety of planned and unplanned activities and are able to engage in experiences that are of interest to their age group. Children’s diversity is recognised and children are supported to explore who they are and who they want to become.
Vacation Care, which operates during school holidays is a great opportunity for children to engage with others from different schools within the community. It’s always a fun-filled calendar with many interesting activities provided, including arts and craft, cooking experiences, free choice play and a range of incursions and excursions.

I come to Children First with 20 years of experience across Community Services, Early Childhood and Family Support. I’m passionate about creating safe, supportive, and engaging environments where children can thrive.
Throughout my career, I’ve played a key role in establishing and growing numerous services, as well as leading and mentoring large teams. I’m committed to fostering positive team cultures that empower educators to do their best work for children and families.
