We are an allergy aware centre and ask that you do not send any foods containing nuts for the wellbeing of our children and families.
Our healthy eating policy supports wellbeing through encouraging life-long healthy eating practices. We ask that you send healthy food (fresh fruit, crackers and cheese, sandwiches, salad/vegetables and cold meats). Please do not send lollies, chocolate, chips or sugary drinks). Please read our healthy eating policy (PDF 188KB) for more details.
Occasional care
Occasional care is for children under school age who aren’t in any other early childhood education and care programs, such as preschool, childcare or family day care. It promotes young children’s development by giving them access to high-quality early childhood education.
It may help parents to take part in a range of activities including non-work and casual work commitments.
Priority of access
The education department has a priority of access policy to decide who can get into occasional care. This might mean that some families get more sessions than others.
Talk to us about enrolling in occasional care.

Sessions are at Coronation Road only.
