LATE COLLECTION FEE
Wherever possible, parents should advise the centre when they will be late to collect their child. Any parent who collects their child after 6.00pm will be charged $15.00 per family, within the 15 minutes not being present. Special circumstances will be given consideration in relation to collection of late fees, but a fee will still be applicable at the Directors discretion using $15.00 within the 15 minutes as the minimum fee. This is due to breech of license finishing time.
If a child is not collected by 6.30pm and we cannot contact the parents or emergency contact(s) then the staff have no option but to call the Department of Community Services and take the child to the local police station. The school Principal will be advised immediately if this occurs.
