Vacation Care – Winter Holiday Program

Our Winter Holiday Program was filled with action-packed adventures and non-stop fun.

In the first week, we hit the ground running with a day bowling at Strike! Many of the children perfected their skills and scored some impressive strikes. We yarned the rainy days away by doing some good old fashioned French knitting, making friendship bracelets, designing colourful tassels and creating our Vacation Care’s famous pom poms. Clay Day was super fun. The children showed so much imagination as they moulded amazing things from clay, such as butterflies, mushrooms, pots, pigs, and even tacos. A glow-in-the-dark light show was a real highlight. The instructor performed a light show that was mesmerising to watch and inspired the children to learn some new and exciting moves with hula hoops. We also celebrated NAIDOC Week. The children enjoyed learning about traditional Aboriginal symbols, making serpents, creating their own rain sticks and learning about traditional rain dances.

The fun did not stop in the second week of Vacation Care. The week started with an excursion to play laser tag and arcade games. The children showed their competitive side as they ducked for cover from laser beams and challenged each other to reach the highest score on the arcade games. Harry Potter Day was a Muggle’s dream with a one-way ticket to Hogwarts. The children made beautiful wands suitable for all wizards, witches, and Muggles alike. We also brewed magical potions and created enchanted fluffy monster books.

In between all these fabulous, programmed activities the children enjoyed some free time playing with their friends and creating their own exciting games. At no time did the rain dampen our spirits or hold us back from enjoying our time at Vacation Care.
