Coldstream Primary School OSHC and Early Years

Coldstream Primary School OSHC and Early Years We are still part of Coldstream Primary School we wanted to make a page for the OSHC and Early Years. Children's hearts and minds should be full of hope.

Service Philosophy
 We believe it takes a village to raise a child, a range of physical, mental, practical, advisory and
encouraging support from a variety of mediums and people.
 We believe children need exposure to positive aspects of childhood where they can be
children and not hold the weight of the world on their shoulders. Children should live
between the world of reality and magic, dream

the impossible, and have laughter and joy. They should see hope and feel hope at all
times. Children should be free to be who they are and be supported to be the best version of
themselves.
 Children should live in a world with healthy rules and high expectations that are shown/role
modelled for them, have time and space to ask questions, make errors, reflect and try again.
 We believe healing and integration between people CAN happen, and oppression can be lifted
no matter how small or how big.
 We believe in a group that strives to support each other to be the best versions of
themselves. A community where all can co-exist with one another with peace and respect,
and a world that will build each other up.
 We believe one and the many can make this difference and it starts now. In order to do this, there are things we have put in place to help support this ongoing work, and
it's important that you are fully informed in order to make the right decisions for you and your
family as to whether this service is the right fit for you. Mission Statement
 To provide the community with a service where children can be educated and cared for while
families continue other aspects of their lives
 For children to have a place they can call their home away from home and feel safe and
secure
 For children to have a network of other children and educators they can be a part of
 For children to be involved in something bigger than themselves that they can contribute to
and make a change within
 To provide a space for learning and discovery that is tailor made to the child
 For children to have authentic, trusting and respectful relationships with the educators

Happy Director’s Day, Nikia! 🌟

Being a director of an education and care organisation is no easy job — it takes heart, patience, vision, and strength to lead with grace every single day.
You juggle countless responsibilities (daily changes🙄), guide your team, support families, and create a safe, loving environment where children can thrive.

It takes a special kind of person to do what you do — someone with compassion, resilience, creativity, and a deep commitment to others. And that’s exactly who you are, Nikia. 💖

Thank you for showing up with dedication and love, for setting the standard of excellence, and for making a difference in so many lives. Your leadership inspires everyone around you!

Wishing you the happiest Director’s Day — you truly deserve it! 🎉

Hi families,

We are excited to be taking part in this program with our 3 & 4 year old Kinder children every Wednesday.

Syndi Carrick-Ryan is the business owner and facilitator and comes highly recommended.

The Pause! Process! Peace!™

This program is designed to give children the tools and skills to:
✨ Pause in the moment
✨ Process their feelings
✨ Find their way back to inner Peace

At its heart, it’s about emotional regulation—helping young children recognise their emotions, understand them, and learn strategies to return to calm. These are lifelong skills that not only support wellbeing now, but also build a strong foundation for resilience, empathy, and positive relationships as they grow. 🌱

We are so excited to see how this program continues to empower children, educators, and families.

We’re excited to have the entire Coldstream Primary School community taking part, including our friends from OSHC + Early Years, who will be joining in the fun.

🎉 The Book Character Parade will be held at 9am during our morning assembly, giving everyone a chance to show off their creative costumes and share their love of reading.

We can't wait to see the amazing characters walk through our doors tomorrow!

Happy Book Week!
