After School Care
Out of School Hours Care (OSHC)
Woden Community Service (WCS) welcomes Evatt School and surrounding community to our Evatt Preschool and OSHC service.
Our programs are recreationally based and regulated under the National Quality Framework (NQF). WCS provides an inclusive environment that recognises variation in children’s ability, backgrounds, family structure and culture. We aim to provide experiences that value and respect all similarities and differences. Children with additional support needs are encouraged to participate in all our program and activities.
The programs are designed to stimulate and encourage social development, are fun, and are conducted in safe and secure environments. The activities provided are centred on the children’s interests and include art and craft, sports, games, dramatic play, construction, cooking and excursions. We work within the National Quality Framework and the principles outlined in the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and My Time, Our Place (MTOP) documents.
Evatt Preschool and OSHC runs Before School Care, After School Care, Preschool and School Holiday Programs.

Allergy Friendly School
Evatt School is an allergy friendly school, as some of our students have severe allergies to certain items, specifically nuts. Please do not send food items such as nuts, peanut butter, snacks containing peanuts or items cooked in peanut oil.
If you have any concerns or questions about this policy please do not hesitate to contact the school.
If your child has an allergy, an allergy management plan will need to be completed yearly as well as medication kept on site where necessary.
Appointments
Communication between school and home is highly valued. Parents are asked to make an appointment for any discussion with the Principal, Deputy Principal, or teachers. An appointment will be arranged at the earliest possible time and attention will be given immediately to urgent issues.
Arrival at School
Please ensure students arrive at school in time for morning lines at 8:58am.
Students will head in to start learning at 9.00am. Every minute of learning counts at Evatt Primary School!
Please note for safety reasons, students are not allowed to play on the equipment or play ball games before school begins.
Assembly
Assemblies are held on Friday mornings at 9am. Parents, carers, and families are invited to join us to see the presentation of awards and sharing of news.
Assessment and Reporting
Teachers use the Australian Curriculum achievement standards, at the end of a period of teaching, to make on-balance judgements and formulate and A-E report based on the academic achievement of learning demonstrated by the students. To make these judgements, teachers draw on assessment data that they have collected as evidence during the course of the teaching period. These judgements about the quality of learning are one source of feedback to students and their parents and inform formal reporting processes.
