School Holidays

 

Fun learning 

Put away those school books and hit the city these school holidays for hands on and interactive learning experiences. Explore the Royal Botanic Gardens, visit the National Sports Museum or learn about our ANZACs.

 

There’s even a way to get those sulky teens out of the house with Teen Writing Week activities or Street Art Mentoring at Signal. Just don’t tell the kids they’re learning.
