Overview

What is School Holiday Care?

School Holiday Care provides structured support and activities for children and young people with disability during school holiday periods. Activities can be tailored around individual interests, support needs and NDIS goals.

Holidays are a great time to try new things in a relaxed setting. We plan activities around each child’s age, interests and support needs, so they can have fun while building confidence.
