Young people in Golden Plains will be able to access a range of fun and educational activities while school is out these spring holidays.
This week Golden Plains Shire announced its Spring Holiday Activity Program, running from Monday, September 22 to Thursday, October 2.
While intended to appeal to the needs and interests of young people, the activities also provide the chance to pick up new skills and connect with peers.
The first week of the program includes the Golden Rainbows Film Festival at the Bannockburn Cultural Centre, a BMX workshop in Teesdale and responsible service of alcohol training in Smythesdale.
Week two features a Masterchef Pizza day and a safe food handling event at Golden Plains Youth Hub in Bannockburn, a woodworking event at Bannockburn Men’s Shed, as well as a trip to Werribee Open Range Zoo.
Golden Plains mayor Owen Sharkey said the program gave young people an opportunity to socialise with each other while also learning new skills.
“There’s a great range of activities available and the program itself is always very popular,” Mayor Sharkey said.
“Tickets are limited, so we encourage anyone interested to see what’s available and secure a ticket as soon as registrations open.”
Registrations for Spring Holiday Activity Program events open at 7pm on Monday, September 1. Visit goldenplains.vic.gov.au/holiday-activity-program or call the shire’s Youth Development team on 5220 7111 to register or for more information.
