Wattle Range Council has released its July school holidays program and it’s time to start planning your winter break.
Youngsters are invited to go ‘Full Throttle in Wattle’, with the holidays winter program, with chances to try new things, revisit old favourites and learn new skills with activities to entertain a range of interests.
Council’s Director Development Services Emma Clay said the program will run through to July 22.
“I’m excited the winter program captures experiences and entertainment activities that are free for all Wattle Range residents.
“We encourage you to get in early to book your place,” she said.
“NAIDOC week will be celebrated during these holidays with local indigenous artist Jenny Bishop working with young people to develop art works to be hung in the children’s library.
“There is an extensive range of craft activities on offer, from finger puppets, to make your own board games and basket weaving.
Again, by popular demand, digital technology including Switch, XBox and new virtual reality goggles and games will be available for everyone to come and try.
Kids will also be able to compete in the Switch competition with the Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros and 3-D augmented drawing and Hero the Zebra.”
Council libraries and cultural services manager Janice Nitschke said the Millicent Library had made an exciting addition to its suite of technology with EZ the Robot.
“You can come along and watch EZ the Robot get put through his paces or join in and have some fun with our Beebots and robotic mouse,” she said.
Also in Penola, there will be a basketball coaching clinic with the Millicent Basketball Association.
Other events include a latest release movie screening on the inflatable big screen at the Millicent Civic and Arts Centre and Millicent Mitre 10 is hosting a workshop where kids can paint and decorate a terracotta pot and then plant it out with a beautiful plant.
Make sure you wear appropriate shoes and clothes that can get dirty.
