Welcome to the “First Primary OSHCare Commonwealth Youth Games”
Running as a precursor to the Commonwealth Youth Games in Samoa on 2nd September, we aim to invoke the spirit of the Games right here in Sydney.

Our centres will be encouraging everyone to take part in the fun! The Games launch will be marked by the arrival of the baton that started its journey from the creators at St Ives OSHCare 3 weeks ago.

Many of us are following closely the news of the baton relay as it passes through over 30 centres whose teams are gathering for the Games. It is wonderful to see the shared endeavour and goodwill as the baton passes through the hands of many of this family.

good bye to their winning design as the Torch leaves the centre.
The baton creation challenge and relay brings to life what we mean by the Commonwealth family
A family that builds responsive, positive and harmonious working relationships, through warmth and respect. A family that offers a consistently high quality service whilst creating a stimulating, warm, secure and organised environment.
People of all ages, cultures and backgrounds are weaving an ever-growing network of links which connect us in our diversity and our common purpose. It is this unity that is expressed in this year's CYG theme: 'Team Commonwealth'.
“Team Commonwealth” supports the notion of being, belonging and becoming
Through individual effort, a sense of place and teamwork, we achieve far more than we could do alone. This has always been at the heart of our approach.
We are delighted to officially mark the opening of the Primary OSHCare games, and wish all participants the very best as they strive to do their centre proud.
Let the Games begin!
