About WESS OSHC

West End Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) has been proudly serving the West End community for many years, offering high-quality care and play based experiences. We welcome students from Prep to Year Six at West End State School to join us for before and after school care, as well as our vacation care programs.

As one of the largest OSHC and vacation care providers in Queensland, we are passionate about creating a secure, supportive, and respectful space for your children. Our programs focus on encouraging social interaction, developing problem-solving skills, practicing teamwork, exploring new activities, and ensuring that children feel happy, safe, and at ease in line with the My Time Our Place framework.

We are located on the grounds of West End State School. For more information about our services, feel free to contact us via email at wessoshc@wesspandc.org. Alternatively, you can visit our office located in the D block at the school.
