Vacation care

Vacation care operates during school holidays from 8am to 6pm each weekday (except public holidays, the last week of December and the first week of January).

We provide morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea everyday. Alternatives are available for children with allergies and intolerances. 

Throughout the vacation program children are provided with opportunities throughout the day to participate in activities such as:

  • gym games
  • ga ga ball
  • arts and crafts
  • cooking
  • social play including construction
  • theme days
