Decision making through free choice activities

In OSHC, our students are provided with lots of opportunities to decide which activities they wish to engage with. Students are encouraged to explore the craft materials, games, books and other resources in order to find activities which they enjoy the most. Such free choice activity time is supportive in helping our students build a sense of agency and play an active role in their OSHC experiences.

Recently, our students have been loving making creations with Hama Beads, using watercolour paints to create artworks, learning new card games, and making props and costumes for play.  We love watching student creativity flow as they use various OSHC materials to make their artworks and creations.
