Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) is an integral part of IGS and is seen as an extension of the school day and home life. Our physical location sees us surrounded by Early Learning, Primary and High School and our philosophy is reflective of the whole School’s core values of diversity, personal achievement, connectedness, authenticity and vibrancy. IGS OSHC aligns itself with the Primary School’s IGS Way to ensure all children are safe, respected, cared for, and have opportunities to learn.
