Explore Before & After School CareVacation care — common questions
What is vacation care?
Vacation care (also called school holiday care) is full-day care for school-aged children during WA school holidays. It runs from 6:30am to 6:00pm and includes activities, meals, excursions and free play. It's part of the OSHC (Outside School Hours Care) family of services.
When does Sonas run vacation care?
We run vacation care every WA school holiday period: the Term 1, Term 2 and Term 3 mid-year holidays, plus the long Christmas/New Year break. We follow the official Department of Education WA term calendar.
Do I have to use vacation care every day?
No — book any combination of days that suits your family. One day, three days, or all of them. Bookings open ahead of each holiday period, and popular days fill quickly.
How do I book vacation care?
If your child is already enrolled in OSHC at Sonas, your centre will send the vacation care program 4–6 weeks before each holiday period. You select the days and excursions you want. New families can book a tour and enrol — it's the same enrolment as OSHC.
What about the school pickup bus?
The bus runs during term-time only — for before and after school care. During vacation care, you drop off and pick up at the centre directly. Many families combine vacation care with OSHC during term and continue with the same centre year-round.
Are excursions an extra cost?
Excursion fees vary by activity and are listed in the vacation care program your centre sends out. The Child Care Subsidy applies to vacation care fees the same way it does to Outside School Hours Care (OSHC).
What ages does vacation care cover?
Vacation care is for school-aged children — typically Pre-Primary through to age 12.
Can I drop off late or pick up early?
Yes. The full day runs 6:30am to 6:00pm but you can drop off and pick up at any time within those hours. Just let your centre know your plans for the day so we can plan excursions accordingly.
