Vacation Care

St Andrew's School's Early Learning Centre (ELC) provides a Vacation Care Program for our ELC children, as well as children in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2. There are limited places available.

Our Vacation Care Program allows children to be cared for in a friendly, familiar and supportive environment during the holiday time. Staff are predominantly teachers from the ELC who have built up strong and trusting relationships with the children over one, or many years, as they progress through St Andrew's School.

Program Details

• Children may arrive from 8:05am and are to be picked up by 6:00pm.
• Prepared meals or lunch orders through the Qkr! App are not available during Vacation Care; children are asked to bring a packed and nutritious morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea, and snacks. We ask that in accordance with our no nuts and egg policy, that children do not bring foods containing nuts or eggs.
• Water is readily available; a drink bottle must be packed.
• Unfortunately, we are unable to heat up, or re-heat any food or drinks brought from home and packed for lunch, in keeping with our Safe Food Handling Policy.
• The St Andrew's School Vacation Care Activities Program is published in our newsletter, The Bell, approximately four weeks prior to the school holidays. The activities may include cooking, jumping castles, science days, animal visits and a range of age-appropriate activities.
