Please read your Vacation Care programs carefully, as there are some days that have clothing/footwear requirements. We have several excursions that require children to wear shoes that are appropriate for walking, wet weather clothing/umbrellas, and PJ's (For PJ day!). Please ensure that your children's clothing and footwear comply with the requirements of the day, as it makes it difficult for them to fully participate in activities if they do not.
On each day we ask that you provide lots of snacks, as well as lunch on most days. We ask this because the children are often extremely active at OSHC, and that combined with long days means that they are very hungry! Please check what food is required for each day your children attend, and ensure their lunchbox is full.
Tori and the OSHC team.
