Gunnedah Shire Council’s school holiday program has arrived and it is chock-a-block with activities, from whipcracking to candle-making, and movies to fun with clay.
Gunnedah Shire Council Manager Customer and Community Relations Charlotte Hoddle said whatever your child’s interests, they are sure to find a fun activity during the holidays.
“What a fantastic start to the Easter holidays with the Youth Week Colour Run – Colours for Nourishment at 4pm on Friday at Longmuir Fields. It’s a colourful way for the whole family to join in,” Ms Hoddle said.
“This will be followed by the free Outdoor Cinema event at PCYC Gunnedah at 6pm, with a screening of Space Jam: A New Legacy, incorporating the PCYC Youth Hub opening.
“The $10 movie for school holiday Thursdays is back, with The Bad Guys on the first week and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the second week.
“Sporting kids have a range of options this Easter break, they can enjoy a netball clinic, skateboarding, tennis, cricket at Carroll or AusKick AFL.
“Artistic kids can get their creative juices flowing with Crafty Creations at the Library, a Candle Wax Beads Workshop, a Polymer Clay Workshop and a Composition Workshop at the Conservatorium.
“The very popular Junior Engineers returns for another year, this time teaching kids to Code with Minecraft Education where kids can modify their own Minecraft world over two days.”
