Lennox Head Vacation Care

The Rainbow Children’s Centre Inc.

Welcome back to Lennox Head Vacation Care Lennox Head 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 4 th December nd for December VC and Friday 22 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!

If any families have any hidden talents and would like to come share these with us we would love to have you. POLICY…. Rainbow has multimedia policy, we recognize that multimedia hand held devices such as iPods and iPads are a large part of most children’s worlds. Whilst at vacation care we have limited the use of hand held devices to one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoons or for longer bus trips. We will not tolerate any negative or inappropriate outcomes from children using these devises whilst at Rainbow, we reserve the right to confiscate any child’s device if they are using it in a negative or inappropriate way and return it to the family on collection of their child. POLICY….

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

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 Janaury VC please bring a completed enrolment form to the Centre and see Jan, Jodie or Leo 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, Carol, April and Various casuals.

Please hand in or email your enrollments quickly to ensure you get a place for your child/ren.
