The Centre
CGGS School School Age Care Programme provides children with a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment, that responds to the needs of the family. It is a place where children can pursue play activities of their choice, working in their own individual way, at their own level of development. The activities, experiences and environment are designed to help develop the social, intellectual, cultural and physical abilities of each child. The quality of care received by children at play significantly nurtures in each child, knowledge of their rights, responsibilities, values and beliefs and an understanding of others.
The Centre is located in the Undercroft, Canteen, Clements Hall, adjacent outdoor areas and adventure playground of the CGGS Junior School, Grey Street, Deakin. It provides close supervision in a happy, safe environment for children to enjoy playing with friends after school. Places for up to 120 children per day are provided.
Hours
3.15pm – 5.45pm each CGGS school day
Staff
Carol Read, the Director, supervises a team of staff rostered for each day so that there is one staff member for every 11 children.
Fees
$12 per afternoon per child. Fees include afternoon tea, a range of indoor and outdoor art, craft, sport and leisure activities. Homework facilities are provided each afternoon. School Aged Care fees will be charged to your child’s School account.
