School Holiday Program

We’ll keep your children happy and active during these school holidays!

SUITABLE FOR 5-12YEAR OLDS.
WE ARE A GOVERNMENT REGISTERED CHILDCARE PROVIDER!

“I just wanted to send a big thank you to everyone associated with today’s school holiday program, in the mad dash to ensure everything was collected I forgot to personally thank anyone! My daughter thoroughly enjoyed herself and we will indeed be returning next school holidays!”

What great fun your children will have with our activities! You can book your child in every day knowing they will be involved in engaging and fun activities every time they’re with us!

Activities:

Every day the children always do:

Ten Pin Bowling – It’s exciting to roll the balls at the 10 pins and see them tumble.
Swimming - A fun time splashing in the heated pool, under the supervision of our qualified swimming instructors.
Art & craft – Lots of great things to make. Sticking, pasting, cutting, painting, sewing, plaiting, folding… a huge range of things to make and do.

Other activities change each day to include, but are not limited to:

Building Cubby-houses – Put your child’s architectural and construction ability to the test as we make the most elaborate cubby houses imaginable.
Outdoor Activities & Games – We go to the oval around the corner to play different games like cricket, football, soccer, races, obstacle courses, chasey, frisbee and more! (Weather permitting.)
Ball Games – Volleyball, basketball, netball, poison ball, tunnel ball, silent ball, crab ball, hand ball, ball relays, and more!
Racquet Games – We have equipment and courts for squash, racquetball, badminton & mini-tennis.
Board Games – Mountains of game & puzzle fun.
Games - We have heaps of games up our sleeve to keep the children engaged. And we’re always learning more!
Special Workshops – Some of our instructors also specialise in other activities incl. gymnastics, martial arts, drama, and art. Join them for extra fun in their chosen fields.
Dress ups – What child can resist dressing up? We have collected a splendid variety of outfits to delight every child.
Writing and Performing plays – We have created wonderful plays scripted and performed by your children using the props and costumes in the activities room.
And lots more!!!
