Hello again,
October is here and many of you will be on the countdown to Christmas and end of year celebrations, I know they have been on our mind here at the Centre as we are busy arranging all our end of year activities.But before we wipe away the next three months though let's not forget about what's on now!
Please keep an eye out for enrolment form for next year. We have got Halloween dress up coming up on the 31st October and would love for all the children to take part. However, we do ask that we do not dress scary as this may upset some of our children.
November and December is hectic months for most of us as Xmas preparations and end of year function tend to take up a lot of our time. So we have already booked in Saturday the 8th December at 10am is our children's Christmas party. We are having a disco Christmas show and a visit from the big man himself. Details and invitations will come out in Mid November.
We are able to host such a special day for our children as over the year we have held lots of different events/fundraiser to help raise money for this.We have a couple more to come yet so we may be able to do some nibbles and drinks too.
Thank you for your ongoing support!
I have been asked a lot of questions of late regarding the holidays and public holidays. Please find below the information to help everyone be on the same page of what we offer and how it works.
Holidays - A discount of 20% off the full fees will apply to any family taking holidays. However reduced rate available as per the following specifications:
- 2 weeks written notice prior to holidays( please complete the enrolment Alteration Advice form),
- Intervals is to be in weekly intervals,
- Discount available for 2 calendar weeks per year,
- your account is up to date
the discount will be charge to you prior to holidays as per the week in advance.
Public Holidays and absences - As your child occupies a permanent booking at the Centre, fees are payable for all booked days, including absences whatever the reason and public holidays. This ensures that a place is always reserved for your child and that fees overall are able to be kept to a minimum.
Graduating Class 2018
The graduating class of 2018 will have their individual photos taken on the 21st of November and I will bet they will all look fantastic.We are asking that all children who are leaving to go to school and do not attend on the Wednesday to please see Kylie to book a time in for the photo shoot. The ready to buy packages will be available for you to purchase in the second week of November.Please see Kylie for any information.
