Before and After School Care

Before and After School Care

Tamahere Model Country School provides on-site Before School Care and After School Care.

Before School Care is available from 7.00am – 8.00am daily. It is imperative that a parent or responsible caregiver accompanies your child/ren to the BSC building and signs in each morning. If your child is on-site before 8.00am, they must be signed in to BSC, and you will be invoiced.

If your child is attending After School Care, they must go directly to the After School Care deck at the end of the school day at 2.30pm and must be collected by 5.45pm. A bell will ring at 2.45pm, and any children on the school grounds without a parent or guardian will know to report to ASC.

Healthy Eating

  • Breakfast will be available for Before School Care students if required.
  • Water is the only drink on offer.
  • Fruit is offered at snack time (2.30 pm), and students are expected to have a piece of fruit along with their sandwiches. Any donations of fruit are much appreciated as this will help to keep costs down.
  • Sandwiches with a variety of no-nut spreads are available along with luncheon slices.
  • Occasionally, there may be a special time when treats are given. Please let the staff know if you would prefer your child not to receive these.
  • Food allergies known to the school are already known by care staff as you would have noted this on your BSC/ASC Enrolment Application.

Activities

There are a good variety of activities and art supplies available for our After School Care students to enjoy, including the use of the adventure playground for Year 3s and above on some days.

Sun Safety

During Terms 1 & 4, as with the rest of our School, our school sun hats must be worn if students are out in the sun. Otherwise, they will need to remain in designated shade areas.
