After School Care

After School Care operates from the close of school to 6pm each day. A variety of supervised play and activities are provided, along with a healthy afternoon snack.

Permanent bookings may be made weekly or fortnightly depending on work situations. Occasional or casual bookings need to be made the day before the child will be attending, and are subject to availability.

Vacation Care

Vacation Care operates during the school holidays to provide fun and care for children aged 5-12 years. Children must have commenced school (or be enrolled to attend school) in order to attend. The service operates Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) from 8am – 6pm.

Programming is based on different stages of development and we aim to provide a balanced program containing structured and unstructured activities. Excursions are compulsory, and programs are available in the weeks preceding each holiday period.

Enquiries and bookings can be made by contacting the administration coordinator (Monday and Tuesday 8.30am to 4.30pm, Wednesday 8.30am to 1.00pm).
