Embracing autumn these school holidays

Golden Plains Shire is offering many fun and free activities for young people during the autumn school holidays.

Activities supporting the needs and interests of people aged 12 to 25 will run across two weeks from Tuesday, April 2, to Thursday, April 11.

Mayor Brett Cunningham said the shire’s autumn holiday program provided an opportunity for young people to learn new skills and connect with others in an entertaining way.

“Council’s free school holiday program is a great opportunity for young people to mix with their peers while enjoying a range of fun and exciting activities,” he said.

Week one activities will begin with a Smythesdale movie afternoon at The Well, 19 Heales Street, on April 2 from noon to 4pm.

A Bannockburn Heart BBQ will be held on the corner of Milton and High Streets from noon to 3pm, followed by a Geelong Gaol Ghost Tour at 202 Myers Street on April 4 from 6pm to 8.30pm.

An acrylic pour will be held at The Well on April 8 from noon to 4pm, and a BMX skate workshop will take place at Bannockburn Skate Park on Moore Street from 1pm to 3pm on April 9.

The second week will conclude with a trip to Melbourne Museum’s Titanic Artefact Exhibition from 10am to 5.30pm on April 11.
