Spring (Sept/Oct 2021) School Holiday Programs

Our programs run from 7:30 am to 6 pm on weekdays. Spring School Holiday Programs will run from Monday 20 September 2021 to Friday 1 October 2021. 

Each school holiday program sees a ton of fun excursions (trips to external locations), in-service activities, and incursions (visits from activity providers to the schools) that ensure a new adventure every day for the children. We are currently preparing the program for the Spring holidays and will update this page with more information when available. Check out what our families had to say about our previous School Holiday Programs here.

What does my child need to bring?

Your child will need to bring a healthy morning tea, lunch, a hat and a drink bottle. Please note that unfortunately we cannot cook or reheat lunches.

What should my child wear?

Anything that is comfortable and easy to move in. For activities that involve water (specified in the program calendars), we also recommend the child to bring a change of clothes.

Are the activities the same for all age groups?

Each program is different, but we always ensure that all activities are age-appropriate. All our locations are able to cater for children from pre-school to Year 6, except for Amaroo which is unable to care for preschool-aged children.

For information about enrolments etc., please visit our Frequently Asked Questions: Children’s Services page.
