The following programs are offered that have been established through the initiative and continuing support of the School Council to assist parents in the community.

The aim of the program is to provide a safe, warm, caring atmosphere for children in a stimulating environment.

 

The service follows the National Quality Standard and is assessed and rated by a Regulatory Authority on a regular basis. The service also provides an extensive program of creative and recreational experiences for the children in accordance with National Quality Area 1.

 

Before School Care operates from 6.45am to 8.35am each weekday during the school term. A healthy, varied breakfast is provided each morning as part of the service. The cost of this program is *$22.00 per child per session.

 

After School Care operates from 3.15pm to 6.00pm each weekday during the school term. On the last day of each term the program will start at 2.15pm and is charged at a higher rate than other days. A nutritious snack is provided after school as part of the service. The cost of this program is *$33.00 per child per session (last day of term *$35.00)

*The service is funded by the Australian Government to provide Child Care Subsidy to families to reduce the cost of the fee. All families are to complete an assessment with Centrelink to determine the percentage of the Child Care Subsidy.
