CGS Care provides a vibrant and engaging holiday care programme at our Campbell and Red Hill campuses. Catering to children from Pre-School to Year 6, our programme is open to both CGS students and the wider community.
Each day, our educators design a mix of indoor and outdoor activities that align with the Early Years Learning Framework / My Time, Our Place learning frameworks, ensuring that children of all ages and learning styles are catered for.
We believe in the importance of child-led learning, actively seeking our children’s input to shape the holiday program. Whether your child thrives in social settings or prefers quiet, individual play, our holiday care offers an environment where independence, confidence, and resilience can flourish.
