Animal fun for last weeks of holiday

With just two weeks to go until school resumes, Central Coast parents might be looking for something to keep the kids occupied.

Th RSPCA NSW’s School Holiday Program, back in virtual form, could be the answer with its fun, animal-centred activities.

Due to the ongoing risks associated with COVID-19, RSPCA NSW is offering eight different programs that children can participate in from the comfort of home.

Topics include animal rescue, animal health, animal training, shelter tours, pet care, and trivia.

“Our virtual School Holiday Programs are a great way to meet the experts, participate in animal activities and learn how to care for our furry friends,” RSPCA NSW Education Officer, Sarah Nagle, said

All virtual programs will be hosted on Zoom.

The link will be emailed to registered participants two days before the program begins along with a pre-program activity.
