CatholicCare OSHC – St Anthony's is staffed by a dedicated team of education professionals who support and respect the uniqueness and individuality of children and their families. Their goal is to ensure that educators support and facilitate children’s social skills and self-confidence.

CatholicCare's educators collaborate with children to provide play and leisure opportunities that are meaningful to them and that support their wellbeing, learning and personal development. Children in school-age care settings are challenged to be curious about what is of interest to them while at the same time developing self-identity and social competencies (taken from MY TIME, OUR PLACE Framework for School Age Care in Australia).

The day-to-day operations of CatholicCare OSHC - St Anthony's is managed by a Coordinator and supported by CatholicCare OSHC Leadership Team.
