Vacation Program FAQ
General Information for Families:
For parents who have children attending who require medication during the day:
As per the normal school day, if your child takes medication before or during school, we require that they continue this medication on days they attend the Vacation Program. Like school, the Vacation Program is a complex relational environment, and we find that students thrive best when they continue their normal medication schedule when attending. If your child attends unmedicated, they may be asked to be picked up early. If you require this, please contact us so we can arrange the correct paperwork for us to administer medication onsite.
For parents who have children attending on one of our incursion or excursion days:
If you have a child attending on an incursion or excursion day you will be required to sign an authorisation form at drop off. The authorisation form gives authority for your child/ren to participate in the incursion or excursion on that day. You must sign this form at drop off to participate and attend that day. The authorisation form will be located next to the sign in Ipad on the morning of care.
Contact:
The service mobile phone will be operational and the main contact number during the vacation program. The service mobile phone number is: 0461 429 672

What to Wear
Please ensure all items of clothing are clearly labelled and provide a jumper during cooler days, as we spend significant time outdoors, weather permitting. Children must wear ENCLOSED SHOED and have a HAT each day. Children are not permitted to wear thongs or sandals.
Signing Children in/out
