As parents ourselves we understand the joys (and challenges) of school holidays, however, these upcoming school holidays are going to be different than our usual school holidays.
With restrictions on travel, social distancing and self-isolation, we all need to get creative to keep our kids busy at home.
There are many businesses who are offering online classes which is a great way to break up the day and to keep the kids continuing their classes and working on their skills. Whether it be online music lessons, art class, coding, dance or sports classes...there is something that will suit kids with a variety of interests.
Stay safe and enjoy some quality family time.

OUTDOOR VENUES & DAYS OUT
|
|
It is important to continue to enjoy nature and the great outdoors with the family these school holidays. Whether it be a walk around the block, a picnic at a local park, a trip to the beach....the kids will enjoy being part of nature. Just remember to respect others and keep your social distancing. So remember to enjoy some fresh air and exercise, maintain distance and choose areas that are quiet. For any families or individuals feeling unwell or displaying flu-like symptoms, we encourage you to stay home. As Government restrictions are changing daily, we may not have this option in the upcoming weeks.
Unfortunately, many of the amazing outdoor venues, zoos, animal farms and cruises are closed these school Holidays. I'm sure we are all looking forward to supporting these businesses later in the year when things have settled down.
