Vacation Care FAQ

• Q: How do I book Vacation Care? +-
  A:

  Booking forms are available at a minimum, 5 weeks before the school holidays. They can either be collected at our OSHC room, or under the Vacation Care section of the website. Bookings must be made before the cut off date as listed on the front page of the form, otherwise bookings cannot be guaranteed and a $5 late fee per day will apply. 

• Q: What time does Vacation Care open and close? +-
  A:

  Pulteney Vacation Care is licensed to open at 8:00am and you must remain with your child/ren until that time.  Our service is licensed until 6:00pm. If your child/ren are collected after 6:00pm, a $20 fee is incurred. After 6:15pm an additional $1 per minute fee applies.

• Q: How much is Vacation Care? +-
  A:

  Vacation Care is $56 for the day before any CCR/CCB reductions. Additional costs for activities & excursions are listed on the Vacation Care Program, and are charged to the account along with this fee. Once bookings are made they are final, and unfortunately we cannot refund days without a medical certificate. This is to cover staffing, catering, transport & excursion expenses.

• Q: What do I need to pack for my child for Vacation Care? +-
  A:

  In Vacation Care, students need to bring along a hat to ensure they can play outside, otherwise no hat equals no play.

  Also ensure that your child has an adequate recess and lunch packed, as we only provide afternoon tea. Please read what is scheduled for the day, to ensure your child can participate in the days events. This includes appropriate shoe wear, and bathers & change of clothes for any days with water activities.

• Q: Are the students allowed to bring their own personal electronics to Vacation Care? +-
  A:

  Electronics are not permitted at Vacation Care so please do not bring them.
  

• Q: Can I book in my child after the booking date? +-
  A:

  Yes, but we cannot ensure that there will be positions available for your child. In this case, they will be placed on a waiting list and wait until there is a cancellation.   A $5 late fee applies for each of these bookings.
