The Heany Park Out of School Hours Care Program offers an essential service to working or studying parents, where their children are looked after in a safe and caring environment. The children participate in age and developmentally appropriate activities. Only primary school aged children are able to attend the Heany Park OSHC Program. Every child who attends must be enrolled in the program. Enrolment Forms and Information Booklets are available from the Co-ordinator, or the school office. Heany Park Primary School offers Before and After School Care. We do not offer vacation care, but Rowville Primary School, Lysterfield Primary School, St Simon’s Primary School and the Rowville Neighbourhood House offer vacation care during the school holidays.

All families that use the OSHC program should contact the Family Assistance Office on 13 61 50 and give them all relevant details. An Assessment Notice will then be forwarded to the program so that your fees can be reduced by the correct percentage. To link your children to the program the Family Assistance Office will require the program’s customer reference numbers. Before School Care: 406 959 685T. After School Care: 555 008 219L.
