WHAT TO DO
Children must be enrolled to ensure a place, as numbers are limited. Parents must fill out an information sheet and consent form on enrolment. This enrolmentbooking09 is an example of what is used.
Parents must sign their children in with the programme supervisor when dropping off, and sign out when collecting. Children are not permitted to leave the Centre during programme times.
WHAT TO BRING
Please ensure that your child has a spare change of clothing, a warm jumper / jacket, hat and shoes, lunch, and a drink bottle. If your child does not have shoes, they will not be permitted to attend trips.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND ALLERGIES
must be reported and recorded with the programme supervisor. If your child requires regular medication, this must accompany the child each day.
Enrolment
Enrolment is finalised upon completion of an enrolment form and signing of the parent-contract-info-sheet. This form must be completed by parents for each child for each separate holiday programme. We will not accept children on the programme who do not have a current, completed enrolment form.
Food
We provide afternoon tea but children must have their own packed morning tea, snacks and lunches. Please ensure your child has a drink bottle clearly marked with their name. NO LOLLIES, JUNK FOOD, SOFT DRINKS OR CAFFEINE BASED DRINKS ARE ALLOWED.
Absences
Once your child’s name is on the roll, we expect him/her to be at the programme unless we have been notified by the parent. You must pay for the days that your child is booked in whether or not she/he attends.
Drop Off & Collection Of Your Child
YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT TO US!!! If a person arrives to collect your child whose name is not on your enrolment form, then we are obliged to keep your child in our care until you have been located for consent. To save embarrassment for all concerned, we would appreciate prior notification from you on this matter. The programme closes at 5.PM sharp and we charge late fees of $1 per minute
Signing Your Child In & Out
Each day when you drop off and collect your child, it is essential that you sign the daily attendance sheet and fill in all requested contact details. The supervisor will show you where this is located, (generally it will be on the table just inside the main door). Please allow enough time in the morning to complete this formality – it is very important.
Fees
Fees are our main source of income and they are also tax deductible for you so keep your receipts. To operate efficiently we require that fees be paid in advance of the programme commencing. We receive cash or cheque but do not have eftpos or credit facilities. If you believe you qualify for a WINZ subsidy the Centre Coordinator will be happy to assist you with your application.
