Our Philosophy
St Joseph's School, Out of School Hours Care service is a child-focused service where:
- children, families and staff are treated as equal and valued individuals
- the value of play is paramount and children have opportunities for challenge and ongoing learning
- children are encouraged to develop to their full potential within a safe, caring and supportive environment that recognises the importance of families for children
- through a positive approach, children's behaviour is guided to build their confidence and self-esteem
- the service operates according to a stated philosophy and aims to reflect the local community by encouraging participation and discussion about all issues relevant to the running of the service
