Our Program
Our Vacation Care Program is jam-packed with fun activities and various “theme days”. Our program incorporates a range of craft, games, sports, cooking, project work and free play activities. In amongst all the excitement, there are also opportunities for some holiday rest and relaxation as well. We also include a range of incursions and excursions in our Vacation Care program, and these may vary for different age groups.
From 2022 we are only taking Kelvin Grove State College students due to increased demand.
Please refer to our vacation care program for specific details regarding theme days, incursions, excursions, additional costs and daily requirements.
Our Menu
Please ensure you pack a healthy lunchbox with enough food for the day. At times, lunch may be included as part of our programmed activities. Please refer to the program for additional information.
Breakfast is supplied by the Service between 7.00am and 8:30am. Children can choose from a variety of cereals, toast and fruit. On some mornings, we also have a special breakfast option for the children to choose from.
Afternoon tea is also also provided by the Service. A progressive afternoon tea is provided from 3:30pm with last call at 4.30pm to allow for a more flexible program. This includes a healthy snack and a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Booking Vacation Care and Pupil Free Days
Daily Rate Fees:
The program is released in Week 7 of each term. The daily rate is $52.00 per day + additional special event/excursion fees.
Permission Forms:
All excursions require a permission form to be completed. These will be available on the OSHC foyer desk the afternoon before and morning of an excursion. All children need a permission form to attend an excursion.
PLEASE NOTE: Excursions LEAVE ON TIME, if you are late your child/children may miss out and you will still need to pay excursion fees as per our policy.
Also if the excursion is P-2 or 3+, if you book that day your child MUST attend the excursion.
Cancellation Policy:
Any requests to cancel bookings require five (5) working days days written notice, as we are required to confirm numbers with vendors and assist with staffing arrangements. All cancellations must be made through the My Family Lounge mobile device app. If you are outside the cancellation window, you will be charged full fees and an absence will be marked.
Absent days:
If your child is absent during the vacation care period, the same absence policy as term time applies. You will need to mark your child absent via the My Family Lounge mobile device app. This is available to download via your app store.
