How are children grouped during the program?

Children are grouped dynamically according to year level and overall program enrollment. This ensures age-appropriate activities and challenges for all participants. If your child has a friendship or sibling preference with someone approximately one year apart in age, please indicate this during registration and we'll do our best to accommodate. All children interact together during recess, lunch and occasional whole program learning experiences.

Can siblings be grouped together?

If siblings are approximately one year apart in age, we can usually accommodate a request to group them together. Please indicate this preference during registration. However, if there's a significant age gap, children may be better suited to their own year-level groups to ensure age-appropriate activities and social connections.

Can children from other schools attend?

Absolutely. Rotation Learning is a community holiday program and welcomes all students from Kindergarten to Year 6, regardless of their regular school. Our programs bring together children from across the community, helping them develop new friendships and social connections.

Can someone other than a parent collect my child?

A parent or guardian must physically attend reception to sign children in and out each day. If you need someone else to collect your child, any modifications to authorised collection arrangements must be communicated in advance to the Program Co-ordinator. This is essential to safeguard every child's safety. Please ensure authorised collectors are listed during registration or notify us before the program day.

When do bookings open for each school holiday period?

Bookings typically open several weeks before each school holiday period. Email Rotation Learning, follow us on social media or visit the website. Early bird discounts are available for those who book before the specified early bird deadline.

Can I book individual days or do I need to book the whole program?

You can book individual days and sessions based on your family's needs. There's no requirement to book an entire program — select the days and sessions that work best for you. Each day offers a different combination of activities, so children can attend multiple days without repeating the same experience.

When do bookings close?

Bookings close at 9.00 am the day before program commencement unless it is sold out.

Do children need prior experience in the activities?

No prior experience is required. Our programs are designed for children of all skill levels and abilities. Activities are delivered through age-appropriate progressions, modified games and inclusive approaches that ensure every child can participate, learn and have fun. Our qualified coaches adapt sessions to support beginners while still challenging more experienced participants.

What activities are included in the program?

Our programs features a range of sports and creative learning experiences. Students rotate through 3-4 different sports in the morning (such as AFL, Basketball, Soccer and Dance) and 2-3 creative arts, sports and team building experiences in the afternoon (for example, art, drama, Cricket, team building games and mindfulness). The specific activities vary by program and day — check the activity schedule for your chosen program to see what's on offer.

What happens if the program is fully booked?

If your preferred session has reached capacity, email matthew@rotationlearning.com.au to join the waitlist. Please include: the Holiday Program School, your child's name and current school year, any medical or special needs information (if applicable), and your mobile number and email address. Families will be contacted if places become available.

Is this a girls or boys and girls program?

Refer to each individual School specific program page. Some programs are for girls only and other programs are for boys and girls.

What happens if my child becomes unwell or injured during the program?

If a child becomes unwell or injured, the appointed parent or guardian will be contacted to collect them. All key staff hold current first-aid qualifications. In emergencies, staff follow established emergency response procedures. First aid is administered according to staff training, and WA emergency services are contacted when necessary. Parents and guardians receive prompt notification, consultation and ongoing updates throughout any incident.

What happens in severe weather?

Student safety remains our paramount concern. Should severe or unfavourable weather be forecast, activities will be adapted and available indoor facilities utilised to ensure the wellbeing of both students and staff. Our programs are designed with flexibility to move indoors when needed, and we have contingency plans for various weather scenarios.

What is the refund and cancellation policy?

Full refunds are provided for cancellations made more than seven (7) days prior to program commencement. To request a refund, email info@rotationlearning.com.au with your booking details. Please note that program credits for future sessions are not available and bookings are non-transferable to other students.

Who are your program partners?

Rotation Learning partners with leading organisations, teachers and coaches across Perth to deliver specialist sessions in various sports and creative arts. Our partners include qualified professionals from sporting associations, performing arts such as drama, music and art, wellbeing practitioners and outdoor adventure specialists. We also partner with schools to provide leadership opportunities for Senior School students (Years 10-12) who serve as peer mentors and buddy-system leaders.

What age groups do you cater for?

Rotation Learning programs are designed for children from Kindergarten through to Year 6 (approximately ages 4-12). Children need to have completed 1 term of Kindergarten to enrol in the program. Children are grouped dynamically according to year level and overall program enrolment, with differentiated content and age-appropriate activities. If your child has a friendship preference with someone approximately one year apart in age, you can indicate this during registration.

Are your staff qualified and vetted?

Yes, absolutely. All Rotation Learning staff hold current Working With Children Checks and are committed to child safety and wellbeing. Our team includes qualified teachers, certified coaches and experienced staff who deliver enriching, high-quality practices. All key staff hold current first-aid qualifications.

Where are your programs located?

Rotation Learning programs are held at partner school venues across Perth, Western Australia. Each school holiday period, we operate at multiple locations to provide convenient access for families throughout the metropolitan area. Visit our Programs page to find a school holiday program near you and view available dates.

Is Rotation Learning a registered childcare provider?

Rotation Learning operates as a community school holiday program rather than a registered childcare service. This means our programs are not eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). However, we focus on delivering high-quality, engaging educational and recreational experiences that go beyond standard vacation care, with qualified educators and specialist activity providers.

What is the staff-to-child ratio?

We maintain appropriate staff-to-child ratios in line with the Department of Education standards to ensure quality supervision and pastoral care. Group coaches remain with the same groups throughout the program, promoting strong relationships and continuity. We also have Senior School students (Years 10-12) who serve as peer mentors and buddy-system leaders, creating additional layers of care, connection and positive role modelling for younger participants.

Do you hold public liability insurance?

Yes. Rotation Learning holds comprehensive public liability insurance to ensure the safety and protection of all participants, staff and families. All activities occur in a child-safe environment with qualified supervision.
