Mayor Khal Asfour says there will be a range of fun and engaging activities to help kids thrive despite the challenges of lockdown.
“Our school holiday program takes the stress out of coming up with fun ideas to keep kids occupied at home. All you need to do is register,” he said.
Hand-picked by Belmore Youth Resource Centre (BYRC), Active Canterbury-Bankstown, Morris Iemma Indoor Sports Centre (MIISC), Canterbury-Bankstown’s nine Libraries and Knowledge Centres and Bankstown Arts Centre, the activities cater to kids with all interests up to 18-years-old.
Some activities include: Making clay planter pots in the School Holidays Clay Club; conducting science experiments with food, run by Science Viva; creating something special for grandparents using objects around the house; Chatter Books club and online Read and Sing; creative craft projects; and a basketball trick shot competition plus so much more.
“I especially hope that young people will participate in our online clubs where they can take part in fun activities, learn about wellbeing and connect with other likeminded people,” Mayor Asfour said.
“With kids not being able to hang out with their friends in person these holidays, it’s more important than ever to help them maintain social connections in a Covid-safe way.”
Most activities are free-of-charge or require a small fee.
