The Rainbow Children’s Centre Inc.

Welcome back to Woodburn Vacation Care Woodburn Public School 8am -6pm.

IMPORTANT; While we try to be as flexible and accommodating to families needs as we can, No bookings will be taken after the cutoff dates, Friday 1 st December for th December VC and Friday 15 December for January VC.

We want vacation care to be a fun and safe place for your child/ren to attend we will not tolerate any antisocial behaviors (ie fighting, swearing and bullying) we will give one written warning if the behavior continues you and your child will have to meet with me (Leonie Crowe OOSHC Co-ordinator) to discuss why your child should remain enrolled in our vacation care program. December January vacation care should be a busy fun time. We remind Parents/Carers that you need to send your child/ren with enough food to last them the whole day. We do offer some extra cooking activities and some afternoon teas these are an extra not a replacement of your child’s daily meals. Children need a balanced and nutritional diet to grow and play

Excursion Day: With this summer vacation program we will be attending swimming excursions, it is extremely important that we are aware of what your child/ren swimming capability is . All families need to sign in and fill in the risk assessment form to notify us if your child is a non swimmer or is able to swim 25metres, this for the safety of your child/ren .Failure to fill in these forms will mean your child/ren cannot attend the excursion!

POLICY….Sun Protection Children will be expected wear suitable sun hats while outside with wide brim to cover face, back of neck, ears and head. Families are asked to ensure children have shirts and clothing that covers as much as possible their shoulders, arms and legs, trunks and necks.

POLICY…. Rainbow may have children who attend that may be anaphylactic to nuts so please do not send your children with NUTELLA, PEANUT BUTTER, MIXED NUTS, MUSELI BARS WITH NUTS, or ANYTHING that contains NUTS thank you for your cooperation…. Closing dates to enrol Friday 1 st December for December VC and Friday 15 th December for January VC

NEW Rainbow WEBSITE ADDRESS: www.rainbow.nsw.edu.au

Parents can go online and get enrolment forms and programs for Vacation Care also there will be updates on any variation to the program due to weather etc. go to www.rainbow.nsw.edu.au

Please note if you require confirmation of your booking please phone 02 66866621 or email the office [email protected]

All bookings MUST come through the Office. In the past few holiday periods there have been some problems re children being booked in, not turning up and fees not being paid. As a result we will have to be stricter in future. Swapping will not be possible. Once you have booked for a day, you are required to pay for that day, even if you do not attend . If you want to add an extra day, you may do so if space is available, and any bookings for extra days must be made through the centre office. OOSHC staff cannot take such bookings and will refer you to contact the office.

Any family with debt unpaid to Rainbow will not be able to book for vacation care until the debt has been paid. If you have an unpaid debt and you wish to book for the December January VC please bring a completed enrolment form to the Centre and see Jodie or Jayne and pay your arrears and pay for your new booking in advance.

Staff cannot be responsible for your child’s belongings . Children are expected to bring their own food and to take care of their own belongings. We advise against children bringing in expensive items (e.g. electronic games) that may go astray within a large group. All hand held games are to be given to staff to put in safe place. While staff will assist and support children, we expect a fair amount of independence in looking after their own belongings from children in vacation care.

Vacation Care is meant to be an enjoyable holiday break for children. We reserve the right to refuse, limit or restrict the enrolment of children who persistently demonstrate aggressive, anti social or bullying behaviours.

Many Thanks from, Kristel, Chloe and Various casuals.

Please hand in or email your enrollments quickly to ensure you get a place for your child/ren. Leonie Crowe is the OOSHC Coordinator and can be contacted on Mob: 0466727633 Woodburn Vacation Care Booking Form Dec 17 - Jan 18
