Conditions of Enrolment To provide a well organised and safe program, the following conditions have been devised. Your cooperation in complying with the following conditions will assist us to provide a safe and enjoyable Vacation Care Program for your children.

1 Hours of Operation Vacation Care operated from 7.00am to 6.00pm. Parents of children not collected by 6.00pm sharp will be charged a late pick-up fee of $10 per 10 minutes or part thereof. School Holiday Program operates from 8.30am to 4.30pm. Call the Coordinator if you are running late, held up at work, in traffic, etc. to reassure your child and give an expected arrival time.

During the day, groups may go on mini walking excursions in the local area. This will be noted on the program. Children walk with educators or are transported by the 3Bridges Community minibus or a chartered bus (or at times, public transport) to excursions out of the local area. Children who commence Kindergarten in 2019 are welcome to attend our in-centre/ incursion and Local excursion days during the January Vacation Care Program. Once they have attended school for a Term, they can be booked into both in-centre days and excursions i.e. in our April Vacation Care Program.

On collection, parent/ guardian or nominee is required to sign the child out with time of collection. Written permission with the parent/ guardian's signature is required if a child is to be collected by someone else other than the parent/ guardian.

If a child has an accident and is in need of medical attention, we will apply first aid, make the child comfortable and contact the child’s parent to collect. In the event of a serious accident, an ambulance will be called and parent will be notified as soon as first aid has been administered. The best place for sick children is at home. If a child is sick in care, for the child’s wellbeing and to prevent spread of infection, the child’s parent will be contacted to collect.

Children are not to bring chewing gum or lollies. Raincoats are essential every day, regardless of weather, as children are out and about and on excursions. Shoes that protect the child’s feet are to be worn - sneakers, boots and sports shoes are ideal. Certainly no thongs, preferably no sandals. Sun hat and sunscreen is essential every day. While we try to keep the children out of the sun during the hottest part of the day, it is not always possible. It is the parent's responsibility to ensure that their child has adequate sun protection and is wearing suitably covering clothes. We have regular 'slip, slop, slap' times throughout the day and have backup sunscreen. A refillable water bottle is recommended so your child can have access to water throughout excursions.

9 9. What not to bring Skateboards, roller blades and wheelies are not permitted unless programmed. Toys and devices such as iPhones/iPads brought by children are their own responsibility.
