Before school, Penrhos College offers free supervision from 7.15am in the library, providing a warm and welcoming environment for students to begin their day.

Starting in January 2025, we are excited to introduce the following after school and holiday care programs in partnership with OSHClub:

  • Stay and Play - after school care 
  • Holiday HQ - a specially curated holiday program

All Junior School students are required to register with OSHClub, regardless of whether they plan to use the service, to ensure access if last-minute care is needed. 

Child Care Subsidy (CCS), a subsidy that the Australian government pays directly to OSHClub, is available for eligible families. For more information about CCS, please visit Services Australia.
