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
