St Thomas More OSHC, Ruse
At St Thomas More OSHC, we believe that before and after school care should be more than just supervision – it should be a place where children feel inspired, supported, and excited to learn. Our service is designed to nurture creativity, confidence, and independence through hands-on experiences that children love.
Every day brings new opportunities to explore and create. From finger knitting and imaginative craft projects to cooking activities that teach practical skills, children are encouraged to try new things and discover their talents. It’s a space where fun and learning go hand in hand, and friendships grow along the way.
What your child will enjoy
- Finger knitting and creative craft projects.
- Making slime, play dough, and cooking experiences.
- Outdoor play and social time with friends.
- Nutritious and healthy snacks for breakfast and afternoon tea.
What sets us apart
Our service celebrates creativity and child-led projects, including hula hoop creations and imaginative play.
Why families love us
Learning lifelong skills – a place where creativity and fun come together.
