Thought about how you’ll keep the kids entertained this summer?

The City of Canterbury Bankstown is starting the silly season early, launching a school holiday program bursting at the seams loaded with fun.

There will be nearly 40 different activities for children and young people aged 3-24 years old to keep occupied in fun, creative and active ways.

“We’ve created a school holiday program to give young people, parents and families a chance to have a memorable summer holiday without having to travel far or break the bank,” Mayor Khal Asfour said.

“We’re putting on heaps of local activities to make sure every child has something to do that interests them. From fun day trips to an aqua water park or Cronulla Beach for surfing lessons, to photography skill sessions and open days that feature a food truck and dessert van – we’ve got you covered.

“We’re even helping to organise transport and meals for some of our activities so the only thing you need to worry about is having a fun and care-free time.”

There will also be opportunities to learn how to code a robot, learn a new musical instrument, enjoy craft activities or even be introduced to Australian animals, as Taronga Zoo brings the zoo to our Libraries.

Other school holiday activities include:

• A cultural bushwalk and swim;
• Kayaking and a barbecue at a national park;
• Safer drivers’ course that adds 20 hours to logbooks;
• Oztag tournament;
• Movie marathon;
• Colouring-in competitions;
• Swim school lessons;
• Scavenger Hunts; and
• Story times.
