School Holiday Program NSW
Join our Inclusive School Holiday Program
One Culture’s inclusive school holiday program runs during each school holiday throughout the year.
We run exciting activities throughout the day from Monday to Friday, during the holidays, which are open to all ages and all abilities. Not only will participants be able to have fun, but they will be able to grow their skills, confidence and build friendships too!
Participants need to meet our staff at the given venue for activities. We strongly advise that participants are brought by a support worker if they require consistent one-on-one attention. If a participant requires transportation and a support worker to be with you throughout the day please let us know in the booking form and we can provide this.
To book in, please click on the button below.

While it is not mandatory, we do recommend obtaining a companion card.
If a participant is attending with an OCSS support worker, we will cover any entry costs. We do not cover the entry fee of external support workers or carers. These costs will need to be covered by the participant themselves.
However, in most cases, we only bring the School Holiday Program to venues that accept the companion card. We will notify the participants if companion cards are not permitted and entry fees occur.

If the participant requires a 2:1 support ratio, there is no issue with having two support workers/caregivers present. If this level of support is not necessary, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team for guidance and consultation.
