The purpose of BOSCO Incorporated is to provide quality care and recreation for children and youth aged between 5 and 13 years before school, after school and/or during the school holidays throughout the school year. It is also to meet the needs of parents/caregivers who work and/or wish for their child/ren to attend a before school, after school and/or holiday programme. Children come from Beckenham School. However during the holidays we take children from Thorrington, St Peters, Cashmere, Hillview Christian and potentially other schools within the local area.
BOSCO's objectivies are:
- To help young people learn to enjoy and make good choices about how to spend their leisure time;
- To recognise the variety of needs children have after a day at school, by providing a safe, friendly, relaxed and non-institutionalised environment;
- To be aware of individual potential and promote non-racist, non-sexist, and non-sterotypic attitudes;
- To provide safe and quality supervised child care, meeting the needs of the community;
- To provide affordable before school, after school and holiday care.
