Vacation Care

We provide Vacation Care during the school holidays in April, July and September / October as well as during the last 2-3 weeks in January, which caters for children attending Normanhurst Public School. Other families whose children do not attend the school may still apply to the Director. Children must be younger than 12 years old and currently attending primary school. To learn more about NOOSH please review our  Parent Handbook .

Vacation Care is packed with many theme days and activities in centre as well as incursions and excursions. Our program aims to keep your children entertained during the holidays and ensure that they having lots of fun with their friends. Parents are asked to ensure their child brings a hat each day.
