OSCAR FEE SUBSIDY FROM WORK AND INCOME NEW ZEALand (WINZ) I may be able to apply for OSCAR Fee Subsidy from Work and Income, this will cover part of my weekly account fee. For more information, please contact the PCST Carehouse Office Manager, 21 Willoughby St, Paeroa PH: (07) 862 9129 or and contact Work and Income.govt.nz. I am aware that if Work & Income decline my application for any reason that I will be liable for the full amount owing. I am aware that if my child does not attend their booked session PCST will keep the WINZ portion. 5. OSCARAFTERSCHOOL CARE & HOLIDAY FEES SCHEDULE (inc gst) · OSCAR After School Care $7.00 per hour (WINZ approved) · OSCAR Holiday program $7.00 per hour (WINZ approved) · OSCAR late pickup fee after 5.30 pm per child $25 per 15 minutes late or part thereof - Please note: LATE FEE IS PAID ON THE SAME DAY & IN CASH TO THE ROSTERED STAFF ON

This fee is intended for occasional emergencies only, not for regular extended care.. Our staff are rostered to finish at 5:30 PM, and repeated late pickups place a strain on our team and operations. We kindly ask that families plan accordingly and have backup arrangements in place when needed.

· OSCAR Holiday program excursions I understand there are additional excursion costs for admission fees to attend main attractions i.e., event tour guides, zoo/museums entrance fees, fun water parks, children theatre shows etc. Whanau families will be emailed through Enrolmy notification of excursion information & fees and permission for their child/children to attend. Holiday program usually plan for two excursions over each holiday period. We charge like a Day care where clients are billed for the days the children are enrolled regardless of attendance. This covers staffing, equipment and materials planned for that day. Children's safety is paramount to us. We ensure Adult: Child ratio numbers are always met and organize activities to meet the demands of the age groups. Note* OSCAR Subsidy are paid towards whanau weekly accounts. Public Holidays to cover ongoing operating costs including staff wages, I understand the service will continue to charge families when the regular booking falls on a public holiday. 6. TRANSPORT FEE · OSCAR Afterschool Care $2.00 fee per child, per day, pick-up from school · OSCAR Holiday program - $5.00 per child, fee charged only on excursion day. 7. OSCAR PROGRAMMES - OPERATING HOURS & AGE GROUPS Age group: 5 years to 13 years old

AFTER SCHOOL CARE: Monday -Friday 3.00pm to 5.30 pm School terms 1, 2, 3 & 4. HOLIDAY PROGRAM HOURS: Monday - Friday Early morning session 8.00 - 9.00 am Early morning session Day session 9.00 - 3.00 pm Afternoon (late) session3.00 - 5.30 pm

We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all children in our programmes. To ensure we can meet each child’s individual needs appropriately, we ask that if your child is supported by a Teacher Aide during the school day, or attends a specialist/special needs school, a similar level of support will need to be arranged for their attendance in our programme. As our staffing structure and ratios differ from those in school settings, families will need to organise and cover the cost of a Teacher Aide (or equivalent support person) for their child while attending. Any support person provided must be aged 16 years or older. This requirement helps us maintain a safe, inclusive, and positive experience for all children. We are happy to work alongside families to support this process where possible. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your child’s needs. PCST Tamariki Junior Program encourage children to learn through play to gain social & emotional skills to form safe & positive friendships, to engage in physical activities and creative projects that enhance on their cognitive development and wellbeing. To gain leadership skills with responsibilities i.e. leading the group in game settings, team leader & care for group of children (with adult supervision) etc. Tamariki Jnr age group: 5 years to 9 years old

FLEXIBLE BOOKINGS: Full time, part time and casual places are available (unless the service has reached capacity). PUBLIC HOLIDAYS: We do not operate during public holidays. 8. OSCAR PROGRAM AND PLANNING OSCAR programs offer a mixture of structured activities and free play that is child-directed. Under the Ministry of Social Development OSCAR Accreditation Standards, as an operator we are required to be responsive to the needs, strength, abilities, and interests of Tamariki & Rangatahi (children & youth), including the wishes of whanau (families). The program also reflects the program hours, facilities, resources, and the skills of the educators. The weekly program is displayed on the whanau notice board with regular updates. Learning stories by educators regularly there will be a display of photos & a summary of children’s play experiences and the gained learnings/skills children are demonstrating and practicing. 9. FOOD PROVISION AND HEALTH & SAFETY Afterschool snack - the service provides afternoon tea that is nutritious & healthy. On special occasions, there could be treats i.e., celebration events (birthdays)

OSCAR Holiday program Whanau are expected to provide their Tamariki & Rangatahi with morning tea & lunch. If Tamariki are booked into the afternoon late session, Whanau are expected to provide their Tamariki with afternoon tea. Clearly labelled lunches with refrigerated items are to be stored in the OSCAR program fridge, by the Whanau. Ask Staff to direct you to the fridge. Please do not send instant noodles, or money to buy lunch, as we cannot facilitate this, and we do not want your child to go hungry. 10. PCST EDUCATORS CONTACTING FAMILIES I accept the service may contact me to discuss any matter relevant to the best care of my Tamariki/Rangatahi. I will attend parent/carer meetings with OSCAR staff, to help develop a Guidance behavioural plan if required to support my Childs inclusion in the OSCAR program(s). I understand if I choose not to engage in discussion or meet with staff, the service is unable to progress the matter further. Therefore, the service has no choice but to give me notification (by text & or email), that my child will not be able to attend the OSCAR program. Until a time, I decide to make an appointment with the OSCAR Coordinator or General Manager by calling the office P: 07 862 9129 for further discussions. 11. PCST STAFF ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHILDRENS CARE & SAFETY PCST Educators (staff) will take every care with my Tamariki/Rangatahi but cannot be held responsible for accidents. 12. WHANAU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CHILDS CARE & SAFETY I agree to provide any information requested by Staff concerning the state of my Childs health, development, physical, or mental well-being. I must provide a medical certificate if requested. I warrant that my child/children have the level of fitness required to undertake our chosen program and its activities. 13. PARENT/CARERS RESPONSBILITIES FOR DROP OFF/PICK UPS I am responsible for getting my child to and from the OSCAR community program(s) unless I registered my child on the OSCAR afterschool transport service. The transport service. allows the staff to pick up my child/children from their school. The staff will sign my child into the afterschool care program, on my behalf. This is an important safety procedure to ensure. all children are always accounted for. 14. PARENT/CARERS ARE RESPONSIBLE TO SIGN IN/OUT FROM COMMUNITY PROGRAMS I am responsible to record & sign my child in on drop off and sign my child is out, on pick up, with the Enrolmy attendance tablet. This is an important safety procedure to ensure all children are always accounted for.

15. ABSENTEES - CONTACT STAFF IF YOUR CHILD IS BOOKED IN BUT WONT BE ATTENDING. If my child is going to be absent, I will call the service on PH: 07 862 9129 to let staff know. I understand the Educators will be concerned & will call me if my child does not arrive at the program as expected. If I am uncontactable, Staff will use my emergency contacts to notify a contact that my child has not arrive & is missing from the program. Please note, it takes time and effort to locate children who have not arrived, and staff would rather be spending it with the children who are attending to ensure MSD OSCAR standards are met. Locating a missing child requires energy & efforts that could interrupt the active supervision ratios for all others in the program. I understand I am to give minimal 48 hrs notice to staff, when my child/ren won’t be attending a booked session. I understand my account will be charged as usual if I don’t provide 48 hrs notice. 16. REFUNDS There are no refunds after the commencement of a community program. 17. CANCELLATIONS If I need to cancel my child/runs booked session(s), I am responsible to give minimal 7 seven days’ notice. I understand cancellations allow the session(s) to be open for families who are on a waitlist. If I do not give seven days’ notice & release my booking session(s), I understand that my account will be fully charged as usual. Please note: PCST OSCAR programs is an MSD approved service. Therefore, we comply with the OSCAR Standards to meet Staff/child ratio. Booking sessions determine our staff roster arrangements. PCST is a not-for-profit, and being over-staffed incurs significant expense to our organisation. It is important families who cancel give the service as much notice as possible. 18. PERSONAL INFORMATION and PRIVACY & CONFIDENTIALITY I will notify the service if my contact details change. This is very important if staff need to get in touch with me urgently. I am responsible for updating any information relating to my child/Childrens registration, including change of address, phone numbers, email, and emergency contacts. I am responsible to ensure my registration & information provided is current.

Medical conditions: I will notify the service via e-mail info@carehouse.org.nz of any medical conditions that requires medicine or possible emergency treatments. I will be specific. I will ensure my child/ren leave their valuables at home as neither the program nor the staff can take responsibility for them if they are broken or lost.

I will notify staff of any behavioural condition that staff need to be aware of . All information shared within PCST Enrolment & Safety forms are treated in the strictest confidence. We may need to share your personal information with other OSCAR staff to ensure your child/Childrens safety & their needs are met. We take all reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. Under the Privacy Act 2020 you have the right of access to, and correction of, personal information held by the service. 19. CODE OF CONDUCT I agree my child/children is/are to:

follow all the instructions given by PCST Educators
remain in areas designated by PCST Educators
comply with any applicable PCST OSCAR policies & procedures.
comply with PCST Enrolmy Terms & Conditions
avoid behaviour that could cause injury or harm to other participants in the program or their or our property.

I agree my child/children is/are to behave appropriately and will not engage in disruptive, dangerous, or unseemly conduct while participating in a community program. If required, all efforts will be made by staff to support the participants behaviour to improve. However, if the inappropriate behaviour continues & is deemed unsafe for the participant and /or for others, the staff will contact the family to develop a Guidance behavioural plan and Parent/Carer and their Child to sign the Acceptable Behaviour Guidelines. If the inappropriate behaviour still does not improve, the participant maybe removed from the program. A Decision like thiswould be a last resort, when we've exhausted all other options.

Acceptable Behaviour Guidelines

Keeping on track at Paeroa Community Support Trust OSCAR Programs

Step One My behaviour is beginning to stop me, and possibly others, from enjoying and participating in the OSCAR program. Step Two I keep doing things that stop me from participating in an acceptable manner in the OSCAR. I need to change my behaviour and apologise to anyone I have affected. My parent/carer will be contacted about my behaviour. Step Three Even after being offered support my behaviour still affects the running of the OSCAR program, my parent/carer and I will work out an action plan with staff that will support me with my behaviour.

At all times from step two, my parent/carer will know which step I am currently on, and regular feedback will be provided to them by OSCAR staff.
