Summer Holiday Program Highlights - Level Up!

Here's a Recap

During the Summer Holidays was all about levelling up the fun at TheirCare Boroondara. The three weeks where an engaging and enriching experience for everyone involved in our program. Throughout the three weeks, we provided various learning environments daily including creative, physical health, scientific, experiential, natural, cultural, and two cooking experiences (each week) and excursions to the Timezone, Rivoli Cinemas, Glow Golf and Archery Attack. Each day was packed with exciting, fun and engaging experiences. During the first week, the highlights included making Butterfly, hosting our own Game Show, seeing Moana 2, Airbrush Octopus Art, playing Laser Tag, Arcade games and baking Butterfly Cakes. As always, educators and children worked in collaboration to design additional activities to maximise the fun and ensure all children were engaged in the program. In week two, the children enjoyed making Salt Dough Ornaments and Paper Sunglasses, seeing Sonic the Hedgehog 3, playing golf and grounders, baking tasty baked goods like the Hedgehog Slice we made and learning all about water safety with Haley. During the last week, we didn't want to say goodbye to the new friends we made, coming from other schools. The major highlights of this week included, making Oatmeal cookies and experiencing Virtual Reality games for the first time, Drip Art, Lego building competition, Cup Rockets and learning how to use a bow and arrow.

Holiday Program & Menu

What's Been On this Week

In Week 3, we continued our term’s theme of Travelling Around the World by visiting Italy for a little “Taste of Italia.” Throughout the week, we immersed ourselves in Italian food, culture, and traditions. On Monday, the highlight was making Pasta Art out of air-dry clay—an engaging project that sparked creativity and honed fine motor skills. Tuesday brought a humorous twist in Let’s Cook when our homemade mozzarella turned out a bit crumbly and dry, but the children still enjoyed the experience and made our Caprese skewers with cheese cubes instead. We also explored Mosaic Art, creating colourful patterns inspired by Italian artistry.

On Thursday, we baked our very own Focaccia Bread and played Tiro alle Fune (Tug of War), embracing more Italian traditions while fostering teamwork and fun. All week long, the children explored cultural sensitivity and inclusivity, discovering the joy of sharing and appreciating each other’s backgrounds. Additional activities—like listening to music from Luca, playing Snakes and Ladders, Uno, decorating our Reflection Journal, and Bocce—rounded out an exciting, educational program.

These experiences were part of our carefully planned schedule designed in collaboration with the children, ensuring everyone felt included and engaged. By integrating cultural and social-emotional learning, we enriched the week with hands-on fun, creativity, and a sense of belonging for all.
