Our Centre — GBOOSH

GBOOSH is a not-for-profit organisation, incorporated and run by an elected volunteer Management Committee of concerned, working parents. Our team of paid, experienced employees including a Centre Director, Joint Coordinators and qualified/experienced Educators take care of the day-to-day running of the centre.

Our centre is located in the grounds of Gymea Bay Public School. We provide before and after school care for up to 180 children, as well as pupil free day care and vacation care for up to 75 children.

GBOOSH needs the support of our families in 2025/2026 in order to meet significant changes to the licencing arrangements for OOSH services located on school sites implemented by the NSW Government.

As part of these changes GBOOSH is in the process of negotiating a merger with the GBPS P&C Association. 

Without the support of our school, families and the GBPS P&C, the merger will not be sucessful and GBOOSH will be forced to close its doors to go out to public tender.

Parent Meeting

A monthly parent meeting takes place at the Centre on the 2nd or 3rd Wednesday of each month. Meetings are held at 6:30pm both with attendees at the centre and some online participants.

We encourage all stakeholders to attend these meetings. Without this Committee there can be no centre. The centre has been incorporated in this way and cannot be run without the Management Committee. This allows families to play an active part in the way the service is run & maintain a community focus.

Please email the Management Committee at GBOOSH Committee for further details on membership and meeting dates.
