Christmas support and College holidays

This year, the College will be closed from Saturday 20th December 2025 to Sunday 4th January 2026 (inclusive) to give our team their well-deserved annual Christmas break.

During this time, all calls will go to our voicemail messaging service and emails will not be responded to. Any voicemails, text messages, enrolments or emails that we receive during this period will not be responded to until we return in January 2026.

Don’t worry though, we’re back with our “Days Of Christmas” series (woohoo!), putting activities, support and festive cheer on our social media pages every day during the College’s holiday. Head to our social media pages (Facebook, Instagram and X – formally Twitter) every day to keep in the loop, keep yourself busy and to be able to touch base with our community.

If you need support during the festive period, there are still several services open and available. Friend of the College and Community Builder, Rachel, has pulled together a booklet of information and these services available over the festive period Winter Wellness 2025 (PDF, 5 MB).
