EXCURSIONS

Excursions book out very quickly so get your booking sheet in early to avoid disappointment. Pack your child a light

bag for excursions as we may need to carry our bags with us, depending on the venue and its facilities. CHILDREN ARE

NOT TO BRING SPENDING MONEY ON EXCURSIONS. We travel by Adelaide Star Buses. Excursions may be cancelled if

the forecast temperature exceeds 35˚C or if it is raining heavily (alternative activities will be provided).

Children must arrive for excursions 10 minutes prior to the departure time stated on the program, (we will not wait

for late arrivals).This allows staff time to talk to the whole group about : safety issues, behaviour expectations,

organise recesses/lunches /drink bottles/toileting, apply sunscreen, arrange child groupings and allow time to answer

any questions children may have about the excursion or venue.

Risk Assessments -Excursions will be organized in compliance with departmental OSHC Standards and the National

Quality Framework. Staff will complete a risk management assessment for all excursions and this will be available to

parents at the service. A risk assessment for an excursion must identify and assess risks that the excursion may pose

to the safety, health or wellbeing of any child participating in the excursion and specify how the identified risks will be

managed and minimised. See staff for a copy of our centre's excursion and risk assessment policies.

Magill Vacation Care program 7:30am - 6pm Monday - Friday excluding public holidays

Vacation Care Behaviour Guidelines

Parents are asked to discuss these points with their children prior to attending the program Always listen to what the staff are saying and follow their instructions.

Participate! Join in with all the games and activities. You’ll have a great time. Stay with the group you are in on excursions- at all times.

Stay within the boundaries when we are outside or on excursion. Ask a staff member if you can leave to get a drink or go to the toilet. On excursion take a partner with you.

Play sensibly with the other children and take care of our equipment If you need anything, tell one of the staff - they can always help.

Look out for other children. Be kind to each other and work at playing together. Look after your own things - it’s a good idea to leave toys at home so they don't get lost or broken

On excursions, stay with the group at all times and be on your best behaviour. Most importantly - HAVE A GREAT TIME !
