Our vision

Excellence in the provision of:

• a safe and supportive environment
• activities that educate, stimulate and inspire
• an environment that encourages independence, creativity and social development
• an inclusive program that offers access to all families at risk, children with additional needs and children from culturally diverse backgrounds.

Our staff

Vacation care program staff hold a variety of relevant qualifications including teaching, children's services, recreation and disability studies. Many staff return each holiday period, providing continuity of care for the many children who attend our programs throughout their primary school years. All staff have undergone mandatory Working with Children checks prior to commencing employment.

Our program requirements

Children should bring their school bags with packed lunch and drink each day unless notified otherwise. Please leave valuables at home as council will not take responsibility for lost or broken items.
