The health and safety of our families and staff are of utmost importance and we will take steps in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment that will keep people as safe as possible. Remember, if your child is unwell, they should stay at home.

• Children require neat, casual clothes, water bottle, a hat (broad-brimmed school hat or bucket hat), sports shoes only (due to safety requirements children will be asked to leave and return with the appropriate footwear) and have sunscreen applied before attending Vacation Care.  Children will have sunscreen reapplied throughout the day.
• Please fill in the parent communication book if you need to pass on any information to staff or otherwise inform staff on arrival. 
• Lunch Boxes – Please pack an adequate and nutritious morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and water each day. We encourage and recommend fresh fruits, sandwiches, cheese, crackers, yoghurts etc. Please refrain from high sugar/high fat foods. Please supply your child(ren) with a water bottle also.
• Medical requirements: If applicable, please ensure you complete the Administration of Medication permission form and required medication is delivered to staff (e.g. Asthma Puffer, epi-pen, anti-histamines).
• Please note that expensive items from home are not permitted except where they are requested as part of a particular day’s program.
• Emergency and evacuation drills will occur during the Vacation Care program to ensure safe and expedient evacuation in the unlikely event of a real emergency occurring.

Please note: TASOSHC Vacation Care Service is offering to open for an additional week, from 4^th to 8^th January, in response to requests from families.
