End of term is almost here, but there’s really no need to worry about the kids climbing the walls. There is SO MUCH happening for kids in the Sutherland Shire over the holidays and the best bit is, most of it is screen-free!

There are sports programs featuring everything from boxing and golf to surfing and Ninja training! There are craft sessions to get the creative juices flowing, plus science workshops, dancing, music classes and much, much more. There’s absolutely no chance you’ll hear the words “Mum I’m bored!”

Begin Bright Gymea

These school holidays Begin Bright Gymea will be running some tutoring workshops to help give students a boost. Quite often we hear from parents who are concerned at how their children seem to regress over the holiday break and are keen to keep them in touch with their learning. Other times, parents are keen to give their children a boost if their children are finding learning at school challenging.

Begin Bright have developed their workshops to be short and fun so the students enjoy coming and leave with re-newed confidence. There are various workshops depending on the age of your child.

Please email [email protected] to request further information or PM the Facebook page.
