Holiday Programs
At Core we happily offer holiday programs where we provide quality care for school-aged children (5-13yrs).
In these programs your child will enjoy supervised free play, fun games, gymnastics skill instruction and some downtime activities including age-appropriate movies, crafts and games.
Drop off / Pick up of gymnasts
Each session runs from 9am-3pm. Payment is required in cash upon arrival (or pre-payment via the Glofox app –
instructions attached). There will be a ‘drop off/pick up’ sign in sheet in the foyer that will need to be signed at the start
and end of the session. Please notify us if your gymnast will be going home with someone else; we will need written
confirmation of this. We also ask that children are picked up promptly after the session, as they will not be let out of the
gym until a parent/guardian arrives to collect them.
Viewing policy
Parents are welcome to stay for 10 minutes to settle your child in. If your child is anxious for you to leave, we are more
than happy to give you a courtesy call throughout the day to comment on how they are going
What to bring?
Water bottle, lunch – Please bring a packed lunch for your child. Morning/afternoon tea will be provided including fresh
fruit, cheese, crackers, cabanossi, and cake. In hot conditions we may give children an ice block. Please let us know if
your child has any allergies, or ‘dislikes’, so we can cater for his/her needs. We always suggest packing a few extra snacks
in the event your child works up an extra large appetite, or does not like the food we have to offer.
What to Wear?
Participants should wear clothing that they are comfortable and able to move in. Try to avoid baggy clothing including
shirts that may lift up when upside down and tracksuit pants below the ankle that may be a trip hazard. We also ask for
long hair to be tied back at all times and no jewellery/watches.
