Pyrmont OSHC

Our after-school and vacation care service at Pyrmont Community Centre will start in term 2 2025. If you’d like to enrol your child or children, complete this expression of interest form and we’ll contact you when enrolments open.

Before you start

Programs include:

• arts and crafts
• games
• gardening and cooking
• homework groups
• music and dance
• sport and fitness.

The programs don’t operate on public holidays and close for a short break over the Christmas and New Year period.

The Surry Hills vacation care program is run by the Girls and Boys Brigade.

Fees

For our programs at Pyrmont, Ultimo, The Rocks (KGV) and Woolloomooloo, after-school care costs $29 a session and holiday care is $65 a day, which includes excursion or activity costs. 

Fees generally do not apply at Surry Hills or Redfern, except for some activities and excursions during school holidays. Please note, certain access criteria need to be met before your child's enrolment can be confirmed. To find out more, contact the children’s services coordinator directly. At Woolloomooloo, fees only apply to families who do not meet the criteria for free access to the services. The child care subsidy is available to help with the cost of fees for children using the programs at Ultimo and The Rocks. A discount off the standard fee is also available for eligible families using these 2 centres.

Late pick-up penalty fees apply.
