School holiday activities and events
Posted on 02 July 2020
The theme for the School Holiday programme in July is Winter Warmers!
This is a virtual programme that families can do at home or away. Some inhouse events are also taking place.
Packs can be collected at either library while stocks last. A few basic supplies from home will be needed but the packs contain instructions (with daily videos on Facebook and YouTube available at 10.30am) and most of the materials needed to do the activities.
