Outside school hours care (OSHC) provider TeamKids recently celebrated two more of its services achieving an Exceeding rating during recent assessment and rating visits. The most recent services to achieve the Exceeding rating are St Benedict’s in the ACT and Westbourne Grammar in Victoria.

“We would like to congratulate St Benedict's Primary and Westbourne Grammar – Truganina for their remarkable achievement in Exceeding the National Quality Standards. This accomplishment is a testament to the unwavering dedication and hard work of our teams at these services and the invaluable support from all departments within TeamKids,” TeamKids CEO James Taylor said.

These two services now join a network of 14 peers, nine of which have been named as Exceeding in the past 11 months:

Brunswick South Primary
Holy Rosary Kensington
Milgate Primary
Pascoe Vale South Primary
South Yarra Primary
St Thomas the Apostle
St Thomas More's Primary.

With the most recent assessment and rating visit, 100 per cent of services in the TeamKids network have now been rated as either meeting or exceeding the National Quality Standard, compared with the national average of 86 per cent.

“We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and commend all our services, as every single one either meets or exceeds National Quality Standards,” Mr Taylor added.
