Central Coast Council has parents covered, with plenty of activities to keep the children busy and entertained during the school holidays.
Council Director of Community and Recreation Services, Mel Smith, said there are over 40 free and affordable events for all ages being delivered by the regional gallery, libraries, leisure centres, theatres, and youth services.
“There really is something for every interest with this year’s school program, which also showcases the expanse of Council’s facilities and community services across the region,” Smith said.
The region’s libraries will host an array of hands on and immersive experiences.
Kids can get their glow on with a range of dark room experiences – Glow Games, Glow Disco, Glow Room Sensory Fun and Glow Construction.
They can game away with Dungeon and Dragons or Hogwarts Wizard Tournament or get crafty with polymer clay jewellery making or stickers and labels making, make gaming models or do some macrame and more.
They can learn about pre-historic dinosaurs and fossils or discover the birds of Brisbane Water.
At Gosford Regional Gallery kids can explore their artistic side in a range of mediums and create wild bird or bonsai sculptures, oil pastel octopus art or attend a printmaking, silk painting, drawing or painting workshop.
Swim, slide and splash out kids’ energy with inflatable fun and water slides at the region’s leisure centres or fine tune some water and ball skills with swimming lessons or at basketball clinics.
A series of open-air activities will include the Easter ‘Hop’ at Kibble Park (Gosford), Chapman Lawn (Wyong) and the Village Green (Toukley).
Outdoor activities will run from the afternoon into the evening and include crafts, circus play space, roving entertainment, lawn games before and family movies.
There’s plenty of entertainment on offer at Laycock St Community Theatre and Council’s Youth Services and local youth providers have a range of exciting events and workshops from a Street Beat event to a Teen Dance Party.
Administrator Rik Hart said the holiday program demonstrates the quality of Council’s community offerings which contribute to the high level of liveability on the Coast, support families and foster creativity and community connectiveness.
