After Care

Times

The After-School Care Centre only operates during school terms.

The Centre is open from 12h30 to 17h00 on school days (excluding the last day of term).

Activities

Children must bring a change of clothing as they will not be allowed to play outside in their uniforms. All clothing must be clearly marked. Homework for Grade 1 – Grade 7 will be encouraged and supervised, but the onus still remains on the parents to see that all homework is completed. As a safety precaution, children attending after-care are required to remain within set boundaries at all times. Children will be clearly informed as to where these boundaries are.

Arrangements

  • Half-day children must be fetched by 14:30 – an additional fee of R 5-00 will be charged for late pick-ups.
  • Full-day children must be fetched by 17:30 – an additional fee of R 50-00 will be charged for late pick-ups. Any child collected after 18:00 will have to be fetched at the home address of one of the organizers. Children may, however, be fetched any time during the afternoon.
  • When collecting your child, please allow him/her a few minutes to pack away whatever he/she is busy with. Please ensure that your child says goodbye to both organizers.
  • Should anyone other than the parent or guardian be fetching your child, please notify the organizers by note, telephone or SMS. Please note that if no such notification has been received, the child concerned will not be released from our care.
  • If your child will not be attending the Centre for any particular reason, e.g. dentist appointment, going to play with a friend, etc. please notify the organizers. The supervisors will not be held responsible for any child who fails to report to After-Care.
  • A snack of sandwiches and a cool drink and an occasional treat will be provided. Children may bring extra food or fruit if required.

Fees

Fees are payable strictly in advance. NO credit will be given for days not attended. One term’s notice in writing is required by children leaving the Centre.

A child will not be accepted in After-Care if attendance fees have not been paid as per above or other prior arrangements have been made. The After-School Care Centre staff member will receive instructions to this effect from the office

Prior arrangements must be made with the organizers for children attending on a casual basis (i.e. no more than twice a week). The fee is R30-00 per afternoon and is payable on the day of attendance.
