Holiday Program

Your child needs to be between 5-12 years old.

Absolutely! We welcome all children aged 5-12 regardless of whether they are on the waitlist or are already a Rosebank family.

Please register online here. For further information on how to register, please click here. 

No, you may only enrol your own child.

Both qualified teachers, specialised coaches in each sport with certifications as well as ex-students all with Working With Children Checks (WWCC) and First Aid Certificates.

We encourage all students to be part of and immerse themselves in the full duration of the program. Children build strong relationships over the space of two or more days with other students, so to maximise the confidence and overall enjoyment of our participants, we encourage all children to join for multiple days over the holidays.  

However, one-day options for the Multi and Football camps will be available only on the first day of the Holiday Program. This initial day will cover expectations, safety procedures and team-building exercises. One-day registrations will not be offered for any subsequent days of the program.

• A clearly labelled water bottle
• Morning tea and lunch (no nuts, please)
• Sport-specific footwear, ie, runners/boots (children bringing football boots need to bring alternative runners to wear indoors in case of rain etc)
• Protective equipment, e.g. mouthguard/shin pads (for sports such as AFL, rugby, hockey)
• Wet weather gear
• Sunsmart clothing and equipment (full-brimmed hat, sunscreen and long-sleeved, lightweight attire)
• Jacket and a change of clothes (if needed)
• Personal medication in original packaging (including a health management plan issued by a medical practitioner).
• Our Holiday Programs are strictly device-free. Devices must stay in bags during the program.
   

All programs will go ahead in wet weather. Alternative facilities are booked in advance and children will participate in activities related to their Holiday Program which are appropriate for indoors.

Please arrive between 8:15am and 9am. The programs run daily from 9am-3pm.

Pick up is from 3pm - 3:30pm. If you are unable to pick up your child at this time, we offer an aftercare program available at an extra cost of $30. For more information, please contact the Holiday Program Director at holidaycamps@rosebank.nsw.edu.au.
 

Cars may enter the car park using the Harris Street entrance to the school gates where there is access to underground parking whilst dropping off. There will be allocated parking and a staff member directing you up the stairwell from the car park and to the front entrance of the school at the sign in desk.

Staff will sign in all children at the front desk on the corner of Parramatta Road and Harris Street (underneath the billboard screen at the front of the school).

No, we must meet the parents upon drop off and have them physically sign in with our staff on-site at the front desk.

Please email holidaycamps@rosebank.nsw.edu.au.

All children must be signed in by a parent or carer. If you are happy for your child to take public transport or walk home and the child is 11 years old, you may fill in the alternative sign-out sheet when you drop off, which will grant them permission to leave at 3:15pm. Students must have a phone on them if this is the case however, we don’t have a duty of care ensured post signing your child out. This is at your own risk.

ID checks will occur upon arrival. If your child will be arriving with anyone not on the authorised list to pick up or drop off, please email us in advance to authorise this.

If pick-up plans change during the day, please email holidaycamps@rosebank.nsw.edu.au as soon as possible to detail the change. This will ensure the safety of all children in our care.

If you have any further questions, please email the Holiday Program Director at
holidaycamps@rosebank.nsw.edu.au. 

A request to transfer to an alternate program can be taken by emailing holidaycamps@rosebank.nsw.edu.au - this is dependent upon the availability of space. Any transfer of the program will incur a $25 administrative fee for a change of mind or a booking made incorrectly.

Please choose your booking carefully, as refunds are not applicable for changes of mind. Refunds will only be issued if the camp is cancelled. In unforeseen circumstances beyond your control, evidence will be reviewed by our management team on a case-by-case basis.

Please email holidaycamps@rosebank.nsw.edu.au with details of your situation. If appropriate, a credit note may be issued for use at a future Holiday Camp, subject to availability.

Rosebank is not responsible for changes in personal circumstances or commitments to work or school. 

All participants must be pre-booked online or through our camp administration team. Rosebank prides itself on its quality staff and must organise staffing and rosters well in advance based on the number of attendees. Therefore, these procedures are necessary.

Students who are unwell or have elevated temperatures will not be admitted to the Holiday Program that day. Parents are strongly advised to keep sick children at home to ensure the health and wellbeing of others and staff at the camps. Please inform the Holiday Program Director of your child’s absence as soon as possible.

During the enrolment process, parents are required to supply all information for their child/children, listing any special health, behavioural and medication requirements. The information gained from the enrolment provides us with a snapshot of the essential information required to adequately prepare for the care of your child whilst they’re at camp.

If a child has been diagnosed by a doctor as having a medical condition or requires additional support from us, it’s essential that Rosebank is informed. Any child who is diagnosed with asthma or anaphylaxis must provide an Individual Health Management Plan completed by a Medical Practitioner and submit it to the Holiday Program Director by 9am the first morning of the program.

All medication must be declared and signed in and out by an authorised adult each day. Medication should be in its original packaging and clearly labelled with the student’s name, correct dosage and frequency.

Any child registered with learning or behavioural difficulties must provide Rosebank with information relating to their needs which are relevant to the successful inclusion of the child into the School Holiday Program.

If a child is injured whilst attending a Holiday Program, a qualified First Aider will administer First Aid (for minor injuries such as cuts/grazes, bites etc). Where First Aid is administered, an Incident/Accident Report form will be completed by the attending staff member and signed. The collecting parent/carer will need to sign this form to acknowledge their notification of the incident.

If a child suffers a trauma whilst attending a Holiday Program Director will be notified immediately. Emergency First Aid will be provided by a qualified First Aider on the premises and emergency attention will be sought immediately. Notice of the incident will be given to the parent/carer as fast as practicably possible and that of any treatment, services or arrangements which have been made.
