Working Together
Outside School Care NT is a Territory owned and operated provider of after school, before school and vacation care programs. We focus on providing high quality care programs to Schools and parents in the Darwin and Palmerston area. Our teams deliver fun and stimulating activities in safe environments that meet or exceed National Quality Framework (NQF) standards.
We are proud to announce that we will be partnering with Forrest Parade School in Palmerston to provide the School’s first on-site after school care (ASC) service. The service will open on Tuesday 16th July 2024.
Families wishing to enrol their children at this OSCH service must be enrolled at the school. A dedicated enrolment pack (which includes all medical conditions and management plans) and fee agreement is required for this service.
Forrest Parade School is located in Bellamack, Palmerston and offers a supportive, individualised community – for children who require specialised and individualised educational programs – for Preschool to Year 6 students.
Your Child’s safety is our number one priority – providing a safe and secure environment underpins everything we do. Our mature teams are fully engaged with the children in our care – we don’t accept passive supervision.
All our policies and procedures have been designed to comply with the National Quality Standards. Every member of our team hold current working with children clearances and are trained in supervisory and behaviour management techniques as well as having first aid, asthma and allergy awareness training.
Since the start of Term 2 2022 We have been offering an after school care service for pupils enrolled at Alawa Primary School at our Wulagi Primary school site. A daily bus service collects children from Alawa. If you would like to enrol your child or find out more information please email office@outsideschoolcare.com.au
We also provide a daily school bus pick up service from all Palmerston Primary Schools*. If you need after school care, but don’t have a place, or you want to change provider, please send an email to our Area Manager or call on 04 9999 4158
* We currently pick up from Bakewell, Driver, Woodroffe, Durack and Rosebery. Others can be arranged upon request.
