How do I enrol for Vacation Care?
To book Vacation Care you need an active enrolment at BOOSH and a completed permission slip for each Vacation Care period. Programs and permission slips are typically available from Week 6 of the previous school Term.
What kind of activities are offered during Vacation Care?
On in-centre days, we offer a fun and engaging mix of sports, crafts, games, workshops, and creative experiences. Activities are designed around children's interests and there are always multiple options available throughout the day, both indoor and outdoor, to suit different personalities and energy levels.
Are there excursions during Vacation Care?
Yes! We typically run 2–3 excursions per week during Vacation Care. These excursions vary each holiday period and may include trips to fun venues, performances, or outdoor adventures. Some excursions require additional forms or specific clothing, and all the necessary information is emailed to families who have booked for those days.
What happens on excursion days?
Children must arrive at BOOSH by a specified time, depending on when the bus leaves. We're typically out of the Centre between 10:00am and 2:00pm.
Children should bring:
- A packed lunch
- Plenty of water
- A hat
Any additional items required for the day will be communicated in advance. Please note that electronics and spending money are not permitted on excursions.
Are meals provided during Vacation Care?
Children must bring enough food for the day as BOOSH does not provide meals during Vacation Care. Please provide a nut free morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea as well as their water bottle.
Can I cancel a Vacation Care booking?
Unfortunately, Vacation Care bookings cannot be cancelled once they are confirmed, as educators and resources are planned in advance. If you've made an error or there are exceptional circumstances, please contact the Centre. Charges still apply, but we'll do our best to support you where possible.
