Created for educators and coordinators working in Outside School Hours Care (OSHC), Before School Care, After School Care and Vacation Care, our updated 2027 A3 Weekly Play & Leisure Program Planner provides a practical way to plan, document and reflect on meaningful play and leisure experiences for school-age children.
Aligned with My Time, Our Place (MTOP V2.0), this planner places children's interests, ideas, choices and wellbeing at the centre of programming. With dedicated spaces for planned and spontaneous experiences, children's contributions, community connections, critical reflection and forward planning, it supports meaningful documentation without unnecessary paperwork.
