PHILOSOPHY & APPROACH

SERVICE PHILOSOPHY

At Sacred Heart OSHC, we work in partnership with families to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where every child feels a sense of belonging. Our philosophy is grounded in the Y’s core values of respect, honesty, responsibility, and caring, which guide the way we learn, play, and interact each day.

GUIDING POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR

Our behaviour expectations align with those of our partner schools, reinforcing consistency and safety – if it isn’t ok at school, it isn’t ok at OSHC. Our educators set clear expectations, establish routines, and use positive language and role-modelling to create a safe and inclusive environment. Guidance is calm and adaptable, always reflecting the Y’s values.

Supervisor

Nasima Nazim

Supervisor, Sacred Heart OSHC

I’m Nasima Nazim, the Supervisor at Sacred Heart OSHC. A Swinburne graduate with 16 years’ experience in early childhood and OSHC across Kenya, New Zealand, and Australia, I’ve progressed from Assistant Educator to Centre Director and worked with Indigenous communities in Karratha. With my team, I’m committed to providing a safe, engaging environment where children can learn and flourish.

Nasima and the team at Sacred Heart Primary School Highgate Y[MCA] OHSC are fantastic!

The after-school program provides a great environment for the kids every day, and the vacation care program is tailored to suit kids of all ages. Being exclusive for SHPSH [Sacred Heart Primary School Highgate] students is wonderful as the kids are able to socialise with not only their own friends but also meet students from other year groups. The genuine care that Nasima has for the kids is clear to see, and my son loves going to the programs.

Hannah Parent

The environment is structured yet warm, offering children the freedom to explore while knowing they are safe, valued, and encouraged.

As an educator and now having worked at the Y Sacred Heart for one year, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the profound impact that the Y Sacred Heart has on children’s growth, confidence, and sense of belonging. What stands out most is the intentionality behind every interaction—staff members don’t simply supervise; they nurture, guide, and celebrate each child as an individual. I’ve seen children who were once hesitant or unsure of themselves blossom into curious, expressive, and collaborative learners because they felt genuinely seen and supported here. I am deeply grateful for the partnership and the unwavering commitment the staff at the Y Sacred Heart show to every child who walks through their doors.
