The children attending YMCA Strathpine OSHC wanted to play Guess Who but as all the cards were missing the staff thought 'We can take a photo of each staff person, print them and use them as cards'. Over hearing this, a child suggested, 'How cool would it be if it was our faces?'. The children attending that day agreed. Staff have taken now taken 24 photos adorned them with beards and glasses, printed on photo sticker paper and attached to the game boards. A very unique and personal board game just for YMCA Strathpine OSHC. Great idea staff and children!
During the school holidays YMCA Strathpine OSHC was extremley busy. 
YMCA Enoggera OSHC has been working on a National Reconciliation Week display to show you all. National Reconciliation Week is celebrated from 27th May – 3rd June and commemorates the rich history and culture of the first Australians. Our children have been learning about the meaning behind this week and have had fun making boomerangs and doing dot paintings. They are so proud of their art works. Well Done!
YMCA St Paul’s OSHC have found their own tennis star, introducing Gauhar Bhardwaj. Gauhar is a Year One student who absolutely loves tennis, you could say she is tennis crazy! Each afternoon without fail, Gauhar can be found outside with a tennis racquet in one hand and tennis ball in the other. Gauhar has come a long way from not being able to hit a tennis ball to now being able to play a proper game of tennis with her peers. She has even been known to challenge the staff. With Gauhar’s sheer determination, dedication and motivation to keep practicing there is no doubt in the future we will see her in the Australian Open! Well done Gauhar, we're so proud of you!
