The Rainbow Children’s Centre Inc.
Welcome back to
Lennox Head Vacation Care
Lennox Head Public School 8am -6pm.
IMPORTANT; While we try to be as flexible and accommodating to families needs as we can,
No bookings will be taken after the cutoff dates, Friday 4th December
for December VC and Friday 22nd December for January VC.
We want vacation care to be a fun and safe place for your child/ren to attend we will not tolerate
any antisocial behaviors (ie fighting, swearing and bullying) we will give one written warning if the
behavior continues you and your child will have to meet with me (Leonie Crowe OOSHC Coordinator) to discuss why your child should remain enrolled in our vacation care program.
December January vacation care should be a busy fun time. We remind Parents/Carers that you
need to send your child/ren with enough food to last them the whole day. We do offer some extra
cooking activities and some afternoon teas these are an extra not a replacement of your child’s
daily meals. Children need a balanced and nutritional diet to grow and play
Excursion Day: With this summer vacation program we will be attending swimming excursions, it
is extremely important that we are aware of what your child/ren swimming capability is. All
families need to sign in and fill in the risk assessment form to notify us if your child is a non
swimmer or is able to swim 25metres, this for the safety of your child/ren .Failure to fill in
these forms will mean your child/ren cannot attend the excursion!
If any families have any hidden talents and would like to come share these with us we would love to
have you.
POLICY….
Rainbow has multimedia policy, we recognize that multimedia hand held devices such as iPods and
iPads are a large part of most children’s worlds. Whilst at vacation care we have limited the use of
hand held devices to one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoons or for longer bus
trips. We will not tolerate any negative or inappropriate outcomes from children using these
devises whilst at Rainbow, we reserve the right to confiscate any child’s device if they are using it
in a negative or inappropriate way and return it to the family on collection of their child.

ANYTHING that contains NUTS thank you for your cooperation….
Closing dates to enrol Friday 4th December for December VC
and Friday 22nd December for January VC
As per Government Regulations we are obliged to give preference to those using Vacation Care
for work related purposes.
NEW Rainbow WEBSITE ADDRESS:
www.rainbow.nsw.edu.au
Parents can go online and get enrolment forms and programs for Vacation Care also there will
be updates on any variation to the program due to weather etc. go to www.rainbow.nsw.edu.au
All bookings MUST come through the Office. In the past few holiday periods there have been
some problems re children being booked in, not turning up and fees not being paid. As a result
we will have to be stricter in future. Swapping will not be possible. Once you have booked for
a day, you are required to pay for that day, even if you do not attend. If you want to add
an extra day, you may do so if space is available, and any bookings for extra days must be made
through the centre office. OOSHC staff cannot take such bookings and will refer you to
contact the office.
Any family with debt unpaid to Rainbow will not be able to book for vacation care
until the debt has been paid. If you have an unpaid debt and you wish to book for
the December Janaury VC please bring a completed enrolment form to the Centre
and see Jan, Jodie or Leo and pay your arrears and pay for your new booking in
advance.
Staff cannot be responsible for your child’s belongings. Children are expected to bring
their own food and to take care of their own belongings. We advise against children bringing in
expensive items (e.g. electronic games) that may go astray within a large group. All hand held
games are to be given to staff to put in safe place.
While staff will assist and support children, we expect a fair amount of independence in
looking after their own belongings from children in vacation care.
Vacation Care is meant to be an enjoyable holiday break for children. We reserve the
right to refuse, limit or restrict the enrolment of children who persistently demonstrate
aggressive, anti social or bullying behaviours.
Many Thanks from, Carol, April and Various casuals.
Please hand in or email your enrollments quickly to ensure you get a place for your child/ren.
Leonie Crowe is the OOSHC Coordinator and can be contacted on
