19.01.2022 One of the things we pride ourselves on at ASPIRE is providing an environment where the children can experience a wide range of activity types. This vacation care we have had a number of external providers come in to enhance our programs, and outside of that our fantastic team of educators have facilitated wheels days, child-planned and driven performances, a round robin of activities that challenged fine, gross motor skills and cognitive abilities. Have you booked your spot yet? Holidays is nearly over!

19.01.2022 Sometimes in art, we like to consider the process more than the outcome. The children at St Pauls today were shown Vincent van Goghs The Starry Night (1889) and learned a bit about the painting. If you dont know about this famous piece, Van Gogh painted the view from his asylum room window just before dawn - not what I was expecting! We asked the children to consider painting what they might see if they looked out their window and left them to it - with some wide and var...ied results. It was pretty fantastic to talk to them about their art afterwards and observe their expressions as they showed me their work - my personal favourites being the concept of the sun through the trees (incompleted because the artist wasnt happy with it!) and the drawing of the sunset over a house on fire during the recent NSW bushfire crisis. Cool, hey? - Darren https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starry_Night

18.01.2022 ASPIRE OSHC St Pauls rounded off the holiday period with a visit from our new friends at Sydney Science Education with an informative and hands on program called Sustainability Starts with You! In this great program the children got to witness first hand the effect that people polluting can have over time by slowly adding material over the course of the program. All agreed they would not drink the water. Together we made a bug hotel - this will go nicely in our garden in T...erm 3! Thanks go to Fundayout for organising another fun learning experience for us

17.01.2022 This morning some of the St Pauls crew had the opportunity to learn about fire safety, courtesy of Cawdor Rural Fire Service. A different type of professional development, this was an informative session and very hands on. Definitely gave us an opportunity to think about the emergency drills we carry out quarterly and how we can improve. It was a nice break from the PD we usually do, and a fun day all round.... Darren

16.01.2022 Here at Sherpa Kids Narellan, we have always prided ourselves on our name and we have always served our community in the best way with our children being our number 1 priority. Well, we are pleased to announce that we have a name change. We are pleased to announce our new name is now:... ASPIRE OSHC Rest assured that the quality of our services will continue to be the same, as its only a name change. Staff, programs and hours of operations will remain the same. Before School Care: We open from 7:00am until school staff come on duty (St Pauls 8.35am & CPS 8.45am) where we drop off the children to the supervised playground for morning play. During this time, we offer them a heathy breakfast (cereals and milk, toast with butter, fruits etc). They also get the chance to play some of their favourite games & activities, both indoor and outdoor, with their friends before starting their school day. After School Care: After School Care commences at 3.10pm with roll call at our meeting point at St Pauls. Children have a short period of time to play and get out the energy stored from being in the classroom for the last 2 hours. Students wishing to complete any homework tasks can utilise this time to do that. After this we commence afternoon tea with our healthy and yummy variety of snacks and delicious seasonal fruits. From around 4.10pm our program time begins. We have 3 program groups, Kindy program, Juniors (years 1 4) and seniors (years 5 & 6). Our programs are designed in line with the childrens interest and incorporate various themes that are pertinent at different times of the year, eg Easter, Mothers Day, NAIDOC week etc. Program time runs for around 30 mins after which the children can choose to continue this in a less structured way or they have free time with supervised activities both inside and outside. Ultimately, our service ensures that whatever we do the children have great fun in a relaxed, yet stimulating environment. Children can be picked up anytime throughout the afternoon, giving parents much needed flexibility. We close at 6.00pm. Holiday Care: Our wonderful holiday programs are out around mid-term each term and include a variety of excursions, incursions and centre-based days. Our holiday care starts at 7.00am daily and closes at 6.00pm. For any further details and enrolments please do not hesitate to call Darren Brisbane, Program Manager 0438 881 585

11.01.2022 At St Pauls this week some of our vegetables were accidentally removed from the garden - but it resulted in a pretty cool look at how carrots and beetroot grow. So far ours are not at all like the ones you see on the shelves at the supermarket! They also taste SO good. Weve also had plenty of opportunity to eat snow peas, radishes, and our broccoli have started sprouting which is super exciting.... Not long now before we can do a proper harvest. - Darren

We acquired some Star Wars themed garden ornaments, and we even built a cymbal feature that the children can play - it also sounds pretty cool in the rain!
