Local Community

Last week the team at C&G rounded up the best local activities to see our Bayside families through the first week of the Spring school holidays (read it here). Now it’s time for part two! Week two of the Spring break - spanning the 1st to the 8th of October - will see you and the kids looking forward to all these outings and more! Read on.

Bayside City Council’s Spring Holiday Program

Bayside City Council runs a jam-packed, fun-filled school holiday program sure to wipe the word ‘bored’ from your kids’ vocabulary! The second week of holidays has youngsters buggy driving, horse riding, mosaic-ing, participating in a street art workshop and tucking into tacos! All events are supervised and secure – with many being accessible as well. Sounds bliss? Register here.

Team Holiday

Another great holiday program to consider this Spring is run by the superstars at Team Holiday. Their activities are broken down to perfectly suit two age groups, 5 - 12 year olds and 10 - 15 year olds. Activities include beat boxing, scavenger hunts, baking and getting up close and personal with some Australian wildlife - and this is only the St Kilda Park program! Team Holiday cover many Bayside locations so make sure you have a browse! To find out what the suburb nearest you is offering, check out their website here.

House of Mirrors at Art Centre Melbourne

As part of the Melbourne Festival, the Arts Centre Melbourne will be unlocking their doors and putting out the welcome mat for House of Mirrors come October. There will be optical illusions, shadows and lights to play with - all that’s needed is your reflection! Details are here.

Dance Like Bruno Mars at Gasworks Arts Park  

There is nothing like a bit of Uptown Funk to spice up your holiday program! Gasworks Arts Park are bringing back the groove on October 5th with Bruno Mars in this hip hop dance workshop, where kids will learn sweet moves from the hit 24K Magic! Parents and friends are welcome to hang out or come back at the close of the day for a final performance. Register here.
