Currumbin Kids Club Vacation Care Program June/July 2021
Important Information for Parent and Carers
Thank you for your interest in our program. We have an exciting program planned but please keep in mind it is subject to
change if COVID-19 restrictions impact any incursions/excursions. Excursion/incursion are also subject to change due to
possible inclement weather. We look forward to incorporating a variety of incursions/excursions for a fun filled program!

Centre Information: Currumbin Kids Club operates during the school holidays from 6:30am – 6:00pm. Our program offers
a variety of activities and experiences all of which are designed to enhance and develop each child’s skills and abilities.
We want to provide every child with a safe, nurturing and fun environment; therefore, we have a zero tolerance towards
bullying. Please refer to our Bullying and Behaviour Management Policy for further information.

Fees: The daily fee for Vacation care is $50.00 per child per day, this amount is eligible for the governments Child Care
Subsidy (CSS). Additional costs associated with incursions or excursions will be added onto the daily fee as stated on the
Vacation Care Program. This amount will receive the Child Care Subsidy. Any Late fees, Non-Cancellation Fees and Ad-
hocs are not eligible for the Child Care subsidy. If you are unsure about your entitlement to the Child Care Subsidy, please
contact the Family Assistance Office on 136 150.

Current Users of Currumbin Kids Club: Use the My Family Lounge APP to book Vacation Care via the Casual Bookings
Calendar. In order to attend the vacation care program, you must have a booking. We will not accept walk in arrivals. If
you do not have a booking and you need your child/ren to attend a particular day, last minute, you will need to call the
service in our operating hours to see if we have any cancellations or room for them. This is particularly imperative for
excursion days as the buses have a limited number of seats. However, it important for every day of vacation care.

New Users of Currumbin Kids Club: To register at the service, click the ‘New Parent Click to Register’ button on
www.currumbinkidsclub.com.au. You will need to complete the enrolment form process prior to being able to book your
attendance. Once you are enrolled bookings can be made as outlined above for Current Users.

Program: Our Program has a combination of excursions and incursions as well as standard days at the centre. We ensure
our program is inclusive of all children and their various abilities. All activities are accompanied by risk assessments that
can be supplied on request.

Food Information: Currumbin Kids Club will provide all children with a nutritional Breakfast (up until 8am) and Afternoon
tea. It is the parent/carer’s responsibility to pack a lunchbox with morning tea, lunch and snacks. Please ensure your child
has a substantial amount of food as our program is more physical and longer than a typical school day. This lunch should
consist of standard healthy foods that you would give your child on a school day i.e. food that does not require heating
or kitchen preparation. Your child must also have their own clearly labelled drink bottle, especially on excursion days as
cold water may not always be available. If your child/ren have any dietary requirements or any allergies/food sensitivity
you will to have met with the service’s co-ordinator to have a meeting in regard to risk minimisation.

Clothing: Please ensure that your child/ren bring a SunSmart hat, as we are outside a lot and this is very important in
maintaining a Sun Safe Centre. We have a ‘No Hat, Shade Play’ Policy and any child/ren without a hat will be asked to
remain in undercover areas. All children must wear suitable footwear. Sneakers, runners or any other type of closed in
shoes are acceptable.

  PLEASE NOTE: Children must bring their own hat; enough food for morning tea and lunch; labelled drink bottle; closed
  in appropriate shoes; and SunSmart clothing. The Centre will provide sunscreen - if you do not want your child/ren to
                      be given sunscreen then you must provide your own or speak with our staff.
                   NO SINGLETS, THONGS OR SANDALS. NUTS AND NUT PRODUCTS ARE NOT PERMITTED.
