THE OUTSIDERS OSHC
The Outsiders Play Advocates (TOPA) is dedicated to providing a community based and playwork inspired OSHC option for schools who need to, or wish to, outsource the running of their Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program. We aim to reduce the gap or disconnect between privately owned OSHC’s and school communities so that a more open, communicative and supportive environment is created, an environment where children can thrive through their early school years. At the same time, we hope to give children the greatest and widest opportunities for play that we can afford.
TOPA, as it would suggest in our name, value play, and focus on providing endless opportunities for children in our care. We see our role as to provide a space where children can explore, find safety, create, challenge themselves, grow, learn, overcome frustration, develop resilience through intrinsically motivated, personally directed and free chosen play. TOPA will provide highly trained and knowledgeable staff to help support children in the creation of a space that is for them, and therefore can act as a second home.

TESTIMONIALS
Barb Farley. Head of Junior School Redlands College
“The Outsiders have been organising our OSHC program since the beginning of January 2023. The program has grown in this time due to the well-structured and exciting program. The children in the program thoroughly enjoy their experiences and parents are thrilled to know their children are engaged in such worthwhile activities whilst being well cared for and supported. The Outsiders work closely with the school to maintain our school culture and standards. Thank you, Outsiders.”
