Surviving the School Holidays: A Time to Recharge

Hi everyone, 

The school holidays are nearly here, and it’s the perfect chance for everyone to take a well-deserved break! While it's tempting to fill the days with lots of fun activities, it's just as important to remember that the holidays are also a time for kids to rest and recharge. After all, they’ve worked hard at school and are probably feeling a little tired.

Balance is key! While it’s great to have some adventures and try new things, it’s also okay to have quiet days at home, reading a book or playing a game. This helps children regain their energy and be ready to start the new school term with fresh enthusiasm.

If you are looking for activities, here are some that might interest the families over the break:
