How does Enrolment Work?
Enrolment is available in 3 formats: Full Time, Part Time or Casual.
Whilst students will have a regular place booked, if you need to change which day you attend as a one off or because of work/ongoing commitments, just let us know with as much warning as possible.
- Full time is best for families who want to be able to attend as often as possible. This is the most flexible option as you can attend up to 3 days/week.
- Part time enrolment is best for families that want to attend one or two days per week all term.
- Casual enrolment is best for trial days or families who are looking to add extra activities on an irregular basis.

Can I do multiple programs?
Full time and Part time enrolment grant you access to both the Learning Center and the Forest School. You can do either offering or a mix of both.
What times and days are available?
We are currently operating on Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays. We are taking expressions of interest for additional/alternative days.
Official program times will be 9:30-3:30. Times for the standard program are flexible to meet your family's needs. If you've got a baby or a late sleeper and are struggling to get out the door before 10, that's fine! Need to pick up early? Also fine. It's not school. The only days that on time arrival is necessary are forest school days and excursions.

Can parents stay?
As long as you sign our visitors/evacuation register, parents and siblings are welcome to stay as long as they like. We have no intention of forcing separation before a child is comfortable. If you're going to be staying half/all day on a regular or semi-regular basis you might want to consider signing up to volunteer.
Educational Terms and Conditions
Arcadia is not a school, and does not provide curriculum based education. Families of children of compulsory school age are advised that Arcadia is a supplement to their education, not a replacement for parent facilitated learning. Parents are responsible for their children's learning, and maintaining registration with the Home Education Department or a Distance Education provider.
Do we support Anaphylaxis and Special Needs?
As we are only one of many users of the hall, we are unable to ensure the space is kept free of anaphylactic allergens.
Some of the site's facilities are unfortunately not easily wheelchair accessible. We do not have any staff with training in special/additional needs at this time. Please contact us if you have any queries about Arcadia's ability to suit your families needs.
