Pupil Free Day Activities by Camp Australia
Camp Australia offers quality after school care to suit your family’s needs. So when it comes to pupil free days, we understand that just because your child has a school-free day, doesn’t mean that your work day has to be impacted.
Make pupil-free days just as engaging as a regular school day with Camp Australia! Our programs provide a safe, fun, and enriching environment right on your school’s campus, ensuring your child is cared for while staying active and engaged.
Simply search for your school and book your child into Your OSHC for the relevant pupil free day.
Why Enrol in a Pupil Free Day Program?
Throughout the year, schools set aside certain days for teacher training, report writing, and professional development, giving students a day off.
While children may celebrate the break from school, these days can present planning challenges for parents. That’s where Camp Australia’s Pupil Free Day programs come in!
By enrolling your child, you can stick to your regular schedule without adjusting work commitments or taking time off. Your child will enjoy a fun, structured, and engaging day with friends while staying in a safe and familiar environment at Your OSHC.
Our programs help maintain their routine, keeping them active, social, and entertained—while giving you peace of mind.

Child Care Subsidies
Our pupil free day programs are covered under the Australian Government’s Child Care Subsidy (CCS) scheme. This means that you can enrol your child into our pupil free day activities as you would a standard before or after school care booking.
The cost for your child attending one of our pupil free day programs is based on your family’s out-of-pocket expenses after any applicable subsidies are applied. Further information about the CCS scheme is included on our information page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are food and drinks provided?
We’re excited to welcome your child to a fun-filled Rocketeers adventure on their Pupil Free Day! As part of the Rocketeers program, food and drinks are not provided, so we ask parents to pack a nutritious lunch, snacks, and a water bottle for their child to enjoy throughout the day.
Be sure to check your booking details for any specific food guidelines for your child’s session. We can’t wait for an action-packed day of fun!
What age group is this program for?
Because pupil free days can cover all year levels of your child’s school, the age range for children in our programs usually ranges from 5 to 12. If your child is enrolled for before or after school care, they are age appropriate for our pupil free day activities as well.
How much does it cost to enrol?
Enrolment costs vary by school, so we recommend checking your school’s page for specific pricing details.
What are the hours of operation?
Because our pupil free programs are designed to cover your child’s regular school day, we take into account your before, during and after school considerations.
