School holiday care

Programs are supervised by qualified staff and include a range of age-specific activities. School holiday care programs administer child care subsidy, so if you are eligible you may receive financial assistance.

These Council-owned facilities run school holiday programs.

In the lead-up to each school holiday period, we also publish a list of upcoming school holiday activities.
