Welcome to the last few weeks of school at Drysdale Primary School for term 1. We hope everyone was able to get rid of all of the paint from the Colour Run. The most popular activity from last week has been the Loom Bands, with Connect 4 and Draughts being the most popular board games, and basketball, hula hooping and skipping being the most popular physical activities. Some of the children have also been taking advantage of their time at OSHC to get some of their homework done, showing great organisational skills.
With School Holidays fast approaching, places at school holiday clubs have opening up. This set of holidays there will be Camp Australia school holiday programs running at Ocean Grove Primary School, Geelong East Primary School, Clairvaux Catholic Primary School, Montpellier Primary School and Fyans Park Primary School. Bookings can be made via https://www.campaustralia.com.au/holidayclubs. There are also copies of the program for both Ocean Grove and Geelong East on display at the service.
Parents, please be aware that there has been a change to the bookings structure at Camp Australia. This may result in a change in the amount you are paying to use the service, If you have any questions go to https://www.campaustralia.com.au/flexibility or call 1300 105 343. The most notable change is the additional fees you will be charged if your child
- Does not attend the service on a day when they were booked in without being cancelled through the Camp Australia head office. (cancellations made through us at the service do not count in terms of this.)
- Does attend the service on a day when they are not booked in through the Camp Autralia Head Office (bookings and cancellations made through us at the service do not count in terms of this)
- Was booked in late through Head Office (less than 48 hours prior to sessions (if you have a Gold level membership this will not apply.
Depending on your membership level these fees range from between $10 to $20 per child per session. If you need to pick up your child from school on a day when they are booked in we STRONGLY advise that you walk them to OSHC, we will sign them in, you can sign them out, and you can continue on, as by doing this you will avoid paying these excess fees. There are flyers available at OSHC with more information.
A friendly reminder for parents that for staffing and catering purposes children should be booked into OSHC through the Camp Australia head office, or if it is impractical to do so, through a staff member at OSHC.. Where possible bookings and cancellations should be made through the Camp Australia Head Office website https://www.campaustralia.com.au/ or phone number, which is 1300 105 343. This is to ensure that we have adequate numbers of staff present to care for your children, and that we have prepared enough food to go around at snack time.
