September School Holidays
21st September - 3rd October 2021
Yikes! School holidays again! We got this!
Jump into one or a few of our Virtual School Holiday adventures.
* Think of it as just like the local school holiday program but online.
* The children are busy creating, making, exploring, imagining, chatting, experimenting, getting their hands dirty.
* The Virtually There team facilitate, guide and oversee the activities.
* The device is what brings us together as a virtual village.
After running hundreds of hours of online fun, interactive, hands on workshops the last 18 months we know how to do it!! This is NOT remote learning!!
Workshops on Offer
Riddles, Pranks & Other Crazy Shenanigans
Thursday 30th Sept 11-12.00
Targeted at: Prep- Grade 5
Young people (and others!) LOVE silliness, laughter, jokes, pranks and potions. Bring along your favourite, riddles, joke books, pranks and a sense of fun and we'll create a little shenanigans together.
Race Around Your World
Saturday 25th Sept 11.00-1.00 or DIY whenever
Fun Family Challenge
Race around YOUR world (as far as restrictions and energy allow) uploading photos of each completed challenge, to receive points…. We’ll have a crazy virtual opening ceremony and briefing before each team sets off on their own amazing race. We’ll finish the fun with an awards ceremony to celebrate family fun together. Your ticket buys you a whole family pass… so you get to choose who is part of your team (within health orders)
Don't worry... we get diversity and different abilities, so there'll be a broad range of differing challenges to cater to all different family groups... and it's all about the FUN with competition kept low key. We’d love this to be an all ages activity from babes to grandparents, with kids, tweens and teens inbetween… oh and the odd parent is welcome too! So long as there aren’t too many dad jokes ;)!
