Helpful Information

CENTRE HOURS: 6:30am - 5:30pm *Late collection incurs a charge of $1 per minute.

COST: $55 per day and $65 for an Excursion/Incursion day generally but some excursions may have entry and transport costs. Attendance and charges apply to

ALL children booked in on scheduled Excursion days.

ABSENTEES: If your child is absent, the normal day fee/absent day fee applies. This may reduce depending on your Child Care Benefit.

CANCELLATIONS: Any days booked may be cancelled a full 2 weeks before the first day of school holidays. Cancellations made after that date will still be charged

as arrangements have been made based upon these numbers.

ENROLLING: Registration booklets can be collected from the College Office, Junior School Reception or downloaded from the college website.

BOOKINGS: Bookings will not be accepted without a completed booking form. These are available on the MCC website or App. All outstanding Before/After

School care fees must be paid in full before your child attends Vacation Care. Booking forms may be attached to an email [email protected] or

handed in at OSHCare and Providence Reception. To ensure no mistakes are made, we will require your booking to be made in writing and will not be taking

bookings over the phone.

CONTACT: You or another Emergency contact MUST be available at all times. Please supply relevant and current contact numbers.

WHAT TO PACK: Children will need a water bottle, a bucket hat, sun safe clothing (no singlets please), closed in shoes and a change of clothes (including

underwear) and a nutritious morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea. NO NUTS or NUT PRODUCTS. Read the program carefully as some days require you to

bring special items- ie. socks, scooters, swimmers.

EXCURSIONS/INCURSIONS: These happen on Tuesdays and Thursdays most weeks. An Excursion Form must be completed by all parents and these will be

available upon arrival.

WEATHER: Activities may be altered due to weather. No Excursion fees will be charged if the Excursion is cancelled.

KIDS ON VACATION CARE: From experience there are a few extra things that you may want to make note of.

SLEEP: We run a long and full day and often children find it more tiring than being at school. Because of this, late nights and lack of sleep will take their toll

not only on your child, but also those around them. This also impacts on the OSHCare staff.

FOOD: Because the children are constantly active they are often hungrier than usual, so make sure you pack EXTRA in their lunch box for morning tea,

lunch and afternoon tea. Complex carbs, protein, fruit & veg and dairy will keep them fuller for longer and provide more energy than sugary or salty treats. OSHCare Contact details:
