Submit a booking request for Before and After School Care or Vacation Care. One of our friendly team members will be in touch as soon as possible.
Please note:
-
Submitting a booking request or enquiry does not constitute a confirmed booking. No booking is confirmed until you have received email confirmation from St Nicholas.
-
For casual and Vacation Care bookings, we have a 5-day cancellation policy, after which the parent/carer will be liable for their full fees for that session. For permanent bookings, we have a 2-week cancellation policy.
-
One-off cancellations for permanent bookings still require the parent/carer to pay their full fees for that session, unless the cancellation is permanent, in which case the family will forfeit their permanent place for that session.
Please fill out the form with your details and preferred study program. One of our friendly staff will be in touch shortly.
