Hall-Thorpe Sports is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people who use its services. Hall-Thorpe Sports staff will treat children with respect and understanding at all times. All educators will make every effort to ensure that Hall-Thorpe Sports' services are of the highest standard, and that every child is protected and nurtured.
Hall-Thorpe Sports aims to operate within a child ratio of approximately 1 carer to every 11 children. While the Office for Early Childhood Education and Care requires 1 carer for every 15 children, Hall-Thorpe Sports operates from the philosophy that duty of care is best served with a lower staff to child ratio.

There will be no absent fees charged if parents provide two weeks' notice for after school care, and one weeks' notice for vacation care.

The after school care fee and the vacation care fee will be reduced to 50% of the daily fee when parents notify Hall-Thorpe Sports of their child's absence. For those who receive CCB (Childcare Rebate), the rebate will cover some, most, or this entire fee depending on the CCB %.
In the case of after school care, please note that if parents do not inform Hall-Thorpe Sports that their child is absent the full fee will be charged. Parents must phone Hall-Thorpe Sports on (07) 46387965 to inform us of their child's absence.

Yes, there is opportunity provided for children to undertake homework. It should be noted however, that homework is NOT COMPULSORY at after school care.
Therefore, if you wish your child to undertake his/her homework, please inform the after school care staff at your school.

Afternoon tea is provided at after school care, and consists of fruit, custard, yoghurt and rice crackers. Morning and afternoon tea is also provided at vacation care, however parents are required to pack lunch for their child/ren. Hall-Thorpe Sports staff will toast sandwiches for children (that parents have provided), and also, will add water to noodles etc.

All Hall-Thorpe Sports after school programs are conducted on the school grounds of each participating school. The following occurs each day:

Children are signed into after school care by the Coordinator.
Children are provided with afternoon tea.
Children are able, if they choose or instructed by parents, to commence their homework.
The activities planned for the afternoon are discussed between staff and children.
Children are divided into groups (this depends on activities and ages) and the afternoon activities begin.

Outdoor activities may be structured or unstructured, depending on the itinerary for that day. There is a weekly program displayed at each service.
Children if they desire, go inside, and undertake more sedentary activities for example, art, craft, dance etc.
Children are able to go between activities if they desire. There will usually be at least two separate activities going on at any one time. They have the option to go between activities if they so choose.
