Our vacation care program is opened for all school aged children in years K – 6 through out the region. You do not need to attend the service for Before and After to attend, however children who use our OOSH service do have early access to enrol in our programs before we open to the general public.

Vacation Care fees and charges as well as the activity fees are covered by Centrelink’s Child Care Subsidy therefore you will only be charged the gap if you have successfully applied for CCS.

We run our Vacation Care program with a base rate of $75 each day, which includes a multitude of activities. On occasions where our excursions or incursions are that are a little bit pricier, you will find that the day will be slighter more. This small increase in displayed on the vacation care program for families to consider when choosing the days they would like to attend the program. CCS is available for all Vacation Care sessions.

We provide healthy and nutritious options for morning and afternoon tea year round. During vacation care we ask that families bring a packed lunch each day unless specified otherwise in our vacation care programs.

Morning Tea, Lunch & Water Bottle

Please remember to pack a healthy recess and lunch for your child that does not contain any nuts. Lunch will only be provided on days where it is explicitly expressed in the Vacation Care Program. Please do not pack any food items that need to be cooked or reheated.

Closed Toe Footwear

Your child must have CLOSED TOE footwear on all days. Any child that does not have closed toe footwear will unfortunately not be able to participate in certain activities.

Hat & Water Bottle

Your child must have a hat while attending vacation care for protection from the sun when going on excursions as well as a water bottle during the day for drinking.

 If you child does not have a hat / water bottle you will be debited $10.00 for the provision of either a hat or water bottle or both and the subsequent laundry and sterilisation required)

(sunscreen will be applied by educators before children leave the building)

Sun Smart Clothing / Sensible Clothing 

On Excursion Days you need to wear SunSmart clothing such as:

• tops with collars, and sleeves of at least three-quarter to full-length
• shorts, pants or skirts of at least three-quarter to full length.
• No Tank/Singlet tops or Spaghetti Straps.

Everyday you will be active, and might get messy. Make sure to wear clothes you can run, jump, play, cook, craft and dig in.

Don’t forget to pack a jumper, even on warm days, just in case of a change in Weather.

Please remember to label ALL your layers as this helps us return any lost items to you.

Electronics and Toys 

Children are not allowed to bring electronics to the centre (i.e. mobile phones, iPads, computers, etc.) We also strongly discourage children bringing toys from home. We take no responsibility for toys brought to Evergreen and subsequently lost or stolen.

Lollies, Fast Food and Anything Containing Nuts. 
Please remember to pack a healthy recess and lunch, although vacation care is a time for fun and a relaxation of the strict school lunch rules, we kindly ask that you do not pack things like McDonald’s and other fast food alternatives.

Evergreen Morisset is also nut free. This includes; Nutella sandwiches, Pad Thai noodles, Chocolate Bars such as Snickers, and Muesli/Protein Bars.
