After School Care

Hamilton Christian School is proud to offer an After School Care program every day after school for HCS Students, Year 1 - 6, from 3:15 – 5:45pm.

Children can be booked in as a permanent booking, a casual booking or in emergency instances.

Each day is started with afternoon tea and some free play, this may be doing puzzles, playing board games or some time with Lego.

If weather permits, we play outside, or start on an indoor craft activity.  We aim to have an activity that ties in with our chosen theme, we also theme our colouring, and craft activities for our afternoon. Finally we finish with free play, and if children would like, we can assist with homework.

Costs

Regular/permanent  bookings:

3:15 – 5:00pm: $13

3:15 – 5:45pm: $20

Casual bookings:

3:15 - 5:45pm - $20

These bookings will need to be made 24 hours in advance so that we can arrange correct staffing numbers and will be charged at the casual rate $20 with pick up by 5:45

Unexpected emergency booking:

3:15 - 5:45pm - $20

We understand that things happen and from time to time and you need to book your child into after-school care - ideally these need to be made within 24 hours of a session, but can be made up to 12:30 pm on the day. These bookings will be charged at the casual rate $20 with pick up by 5:45.

Safety at school booking:

This is where a parent has not turned up to pick up their child from school by 3:40 pm. The child will be sent to after-school care and there will be a charge of $20

With all our bookings, Late fees will be charged at $1 per minute if a parent or caregiver is late from the agreed pick up time. Abuse of this timeframe will void their future attendance.

Children will need to be signed out at pick up time by the designated caregiver. In the event of pick up time changing or if the designated caregiver is not able to collect - prior notice needs to be given

We will not be operating on public holidays, teacher only days or school holidays.
