Holiday Care

About the Holiday Care Program

Excursions and centre based programs are developed to meet the wide developmental and interest ranges of children who attend. Not all activities will suit all children. Please consider the appropriateness of each excursion for your child. It is not expected that all children would participate in all excursions.

Children attending for their first sessions during vacation care should not be booked on excursions without communication with our Service Coordinator.

Breakfast/morning tea and afternoon tea are included in our daily fee.

Summer Holiday care is available:

 Monday  9 December to Friday 13 December 2024 (Private School Week)

Monday 16 December to Friday 24 December 2024 (Closing at 4pm on Christmas Eve)

Monday 6 January to Friday 24th January 2025

Holiday care hours are from 6:00am to 6pm.

Please book in holiday care via your Xplor App. Excursions do not need to be booked and can be decided on the day of care, except where noted below

Holiday care fee, booking conditions and cancellation policy can be found at the bottom of this page or the Enrolments & Bookings page

Tuckshop is available to be purchased for children not attending excursions and our picnic lunch is available for purchase for children attending excursions. In either case food is to be ordered at sign in each day.

Centre Activities

The following activities run at WSACC during the holiday period.

Prep Children

Consideration will be taken in programming for new prep children allocating educators to orientate and provide support to their growing confidence in the centre as well as the demands of a holiday care day on their energy levels. A range of quieter activities with prep children in mind will be facilitated throughout the holiday care program. Please provide us enough time to enrol and plan for new children attending for the first time.

Holiday Care Booking Conditions

Bookings may be received at WSACC by email or via the Xplor App. 

Any booking which is received is deemed to be confirmed upon receipt of the booking enquiry. There will be no further correspondence unless the booking cannot be confirmed. In the unlikely event of a booking being unable to be confirmed, WSACC staff will contact you.

Bookings from one holiday period to the next are not automatically transferred. Each holiday period requires a new booking for each child wishing to attend.

Holiday Care Cancellation Policy

A booking cancelled up to 48 hours prior to the care date will incur a half day care fee ($27.50).

A booking cancelled within 48 hours prior to the care date will incur the full day care fee of $55.00

Booking Fees (current as Term 2, 2024)

Bookings for holiday care received prior to the last Thursday of each school term will be charged our fee of $55 per day per child.

Bookings received after the last Thursday of each school term will be charged our standard daily fee of $65 per child per day.

Bookings are essential for all care. Care for a child without a booking will be charged our casual day fee of $75 per day per child. Please call WSACC prior to attending to avoid this fee.
