Community Info and Programs
Bullseye Sensory Clinic Lego Club
Lego is the ultimate combination of fun and learning! Little Legends Lego Club is Bullseye Sensory Clinic's school holiday program run by our occupational therapists that works on developmental areas for children whilst playing with Lego.
Kingsway School Holiday Program
The School Holidays are fast approaching and in an effort to try and keep the children in our community active and healthy during the months of December and January the City of Wanneroo are hosting some activites at Kingsway Indoor Stadium.
Summer Reading Club
Tickets are open for The Summer Reading Club at all branches of the Wanneroo Libraries. Our annual reading club is bringing the summer to life for your students and their families. The Summer Reading Club aims to support children’s literacy and inspire their love of reading. Continuing to read for enjoyment throughout the holidays can help prevent the summer slide, where the learning acquired at school supported by your hardworking educators may be lost during the long summer break. Libraries are well placed to help families support their children’s literacy skills through access to books, involvement in fun reading programs and providing STEAM activities.
Our reading ambassador for the summer is Winnie the Wombat. Children of all ages are invited to visit her reading corner and join us at our libraries in the holidays for some hands-on activities and inspiring workshops.
There’s great giveaways, plenty of opportunities for learning through play and, of course, a continuous supply of books to read and download, all for free. The club is open until the end of January.

Send your kids to UWA this summer!

Plus, we offer exposure to The University of Western Australia - a world Top 100 university.
We're excited to share that from Tuesday 4 January 2022, we will be launching an additional Kids Sport Holiday Program at UWA Claremont. Based at the UWA International Martial Arts Centre, this program takes advantage of the beautiful grounds of UWA Claremont to offer even more school holiday sporting fun with longer marquee events!Registrations are now open for both the UWA Perth and UWA Claremont programs.
