Sun Protection

Belgrave South Community House is a registered Sunsmart centre. Children are required to wear a hat at all times when outside from September to April inclusive. Sunscreen should be applied at home or from the Centre’s supply. Please advise staff if you do not want sunscreen applied.

Lost property

Please label your child’s clothing clearly and check the lost property box daily. Unclaimed items will be donated to charity four weeks after the end of the program. We do not accept responsibility for the loss of children’s belongings during the program. This includes mobile phones, I-Pods etc.

Behaviour management

School Holiday Program staff will work with families to positively guide children’s behaviour at the service. Our behaviour management policy combines positive reinforcement of good behaviour and relevant consequences for poor behaviour. We reserve the right to cancel a child’s booking (in consultation with parents/guardians) if behaviour threatens the positive and safe environment we create.

Dropping off and collection of children

All children are required to be signed in by their parent/guardian when dropped off and signed out when collected at the end of each day.
