Welcome back to Term 4 at WAYS After School Care

Welcome back. We’re looking forward to a big final term.

At the end of Term 3 we sat down with the children, asked our educators what they actually saw on the floor, and rebuilt the week around both. Innovation & Technology stays. Gymnastics with Freya stays. Seniors Club now runs twice a week. And Wednesdays are outdoors from start to finish, right here in Bondi.

13 Oct – 18 Dec

Term 4, 2026

3 – 6:30pm

Every weekday

10 Feature Days

No extra cost

The week at a glance

Every day has its own character, so you can choose the days that suit your child — not just your diary.


Monday

In-house club

Innovation & Technology

Code.org, robotics and VR — the club the children refused to let us change.

Feature activity

Silly Sports NEW

Movement with no scoreboard. Scooter soccer, Nerf, archery and games they invent themselves.


Tuesday

In-house clubs

Sensory Creations & Seniors Club

Slime, texture and hands-on making — plus a space of their own for our oldest children.

Feature activity

Gymnastics with Freya

Inclusive coaching, run in-house, every Tuesday.


Wednesday

In-house club

Bondi Nature Adventures

Outdoors from start to finish. Coastline, scrub and room to move.

Feature activity

Bondi Skate Park NEW

Bring a scooter, bike or board. Ride what you like.


Thursday

In-house clubs

Skate Ramp Project & Seniors Club NEW

A build that runs the whole term. Measuring, cutting, testing, riding.

Feature activity

Art with Jen

External provider. A term of work building toward a showcase.


Friday

Feature activity

Scooter Workshop with Mason NEW

MD Scootering. Real coaching and real progression, week on week.

Thursday Art with Jen and Friday Scooter Workshop are run by external providers, so those two days are charged at the with-activity rate ($38/day permanent, $43/day casual).

Included in your normal booking

Feature days cost nothing extra — venue, transport and supervision are all part of your regular session fee. Dates marked TBC are confirmed to booked families as soon as they’re locked in.

Finding things in OWNA

Keep an eye on the Events section for upcoming activities, excursions and special events. Please read the event information carefully and return any required permission slips by the stated deadline.

The app may look a little different to how you remember it — our updated family guide walks through finding what you need.

To change your child’s permanent booking days, please give us at least seven days’ notice in line with our booking policy. Here’s how to request a booking change. Absences go through the usual process.

A few reminders

We close at 6:30pm

Please allow enough time to collect your child and leave by closing time, and check that your authorised collection details are up to date.

Walking home

If your child is authorised to walk home independently, make sure the walking-home authorisation on file is current. Tell us if it needs updating.

Enrolment check-ins

Charlotte will be in touch about enrolments, attendance and booking details so everything is current for the term. Olive, our Enrolments Officer, is on leave until the end of October — Charlotte is covering enrolment queries in the meantime.
