Summer School Holiday Program
12 to 23 January 2026
We're springing into the School Holidays with two action-packed weeks of fun, free activities! Have fun with jigsaw puzzles, upcycled crafts, manga drawing, and more! Plus, make your own sound effects, or get moving with a Hip Hop dance class. We're bringing back our ever-popular chess tournaments and, of course, our friends from the Western BACE STEM Squad will join us with a range of tech gadgets and challenges for all ages.
Come back to this webpage from Monday 29 December to see the full range of programs, including session dates, times, and locations.
Bookings for all programs will open at 9am on Monday 5 January 2026.
You can make a booking:
Bookings are required for all programs unless otherwise specified. If your chosen program is fully booked, you can add your name to the waitlist.
Adult supervision is required at all programs for children under 12 years old.
Frequently asked questions
My child is outside of the age limit for a program. Can they still join in?
We’ve done our best to include a range of activities for kids of all ages. Some events have an age limit to ensure that everyone gets the most out of our programs. We may not be able to accommodate children that are outside of the program age limit.
The activity I want to do is booked out. What can I do?
We understand this can be disappointing when this happens. If the program you are interested in is fully booked, you can add your name to the waiting list. We will contact you if there is a cancellation.
Do I need to supervise my child during the program?
We ask that a parent or guardian stays with all children aged 12 and under. Library staff are not able to supervise young children.
Can I cancel a booking?
Things happen! We understand. If you have booked a place at one of our programs but can no longer attend, please contact us so that we can offer your place to someone else.
I am running late for my event. What should I do?
If you are running late, we will hold your booking for 10 minutes*. After this time, we will offer your place to the next person on the waitlist.
*Unfortunately, we cannot hold bookings for Western BACE programs.
