How it works

Book online

Earlybirds bookings (7.30am - 8am) are made through the school office.

Parents can book regular slots a term in advance and make payment via our secure online payment system, ParentPay.

Slots may also be booked on an ad hoc basis, again payment needs to be made in advance and availability cannot be guaranteed - once each session is at full capacity then no further slots can be offered. As we operate a waiting list, it is not possible for parents to ‘swap’ their children’s places.

Camp Glide is booked directly with Camp Glide through their website:
