School holiday program guidelines

(Back to top)

Please read the guidelines to help you with a smooth registration process.

  • It is important to dress your child in suitable clothing and footwear appropriate for the activities.
  • Each activity requires your child to bring a drink bottle of water, suitable shoes and a hat (if outdoors).
  • Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the activity start time to register your child(ren).
  • We will not accept enrolments on the day. If your child would like to bring friends, please ensure they are enrolled before the day.
  • Due to popularity all of our activities are likely to have a waitlist. If you cannot make an activity you must cancel via Bookable 24 hours before the day of the activity. 
  • Parents or carers are expected to stay for the duration of the activity. The program is not designed to be a child-minding service and it can also be fun to get involved in the class as well. Parents who are working are welcome to bring laptops and work from the facility.
  • Please do not bring food that contains or has traces of peanuts or eggs as other children may have allergies. 
  • If your child has any special requirements, please make this known during the registration process this enables our team to ensure a quality experience for your child/ren. A council officer maybe in contact to discuss specific requirements. We want to assure the community this information is only communicated to the staff and facilitator to ensure we can plan and accommodate children of all abilities. Some examples of how of our inclusive practices that have been implemented include, the use of modified equipment, rostering on extra facilitators to make the group sizes smaller.   
  • Council will communicate any cancellation of activities via email or text message to the contact details you provide during the registration process. 
  • Do not forget to provide us your feedback via our survey that will be sent out to you after the school holidays as your feedback is important to maintaining and improving our program. You also go into the draw to win one of three early bird registration vouchers for the next school holiday period.
