Located in our Early Learning Centre which is adjacent to the rest of the school, our aim is to provide a nurturing environment that is home away from home.
We have spacious open areas, quiet rooms, excellent educational and play resources, and a playground designed to meet the needs of the younger age group.
The children in our care also have access to the College’s main facilities such as the Library, Cahill Centre, music rooms and physical education spaces and equipment.
Taking account of individual needs, we work hard to ensure a safe, stable, supportive, challenging and happy environment for all the children in our care.
Both the morning (7.30am – 8.30am) and afternoon (3.05pm – 6.00pm) sessions provide students from Kindergarten to Year 6 with a supportive environment for free play, planned experiences, school activities and homework as well as some quiet time. A nutritious breakfast and afternoon tea is also provided.
We also provide care for Student Free Days and School Holiday Care.

2024-2025 School Holiday Program
Our Holiday Care program is designed to be fun, stimulating and enjoyable, providing children an opportunity to explore the world around us and have fun in the process. Holidays are a time for children to relax, enjoy time with their friends and engage in different experiences and our program has been carefully designed with this in mind. Bookings are made through the Parent Portal. If you need assistance with access to the Parent Portal, please contact Student Services via email or by calling 6216 7900.
Excursions are a key part of our Holiday Care program, however there are some excursions where 3-5 year old students will not be able to attend. See the program for more details.
