With blue, crisp days and plenty of activities on the agenda, you and your family are spoiled for choice when it comes to the school spring holidays. Starting on the 20th of September, C&G points you in the right direction for fun days out (or in) to get you through the holiday break with nary a boredom meltdown in sight.
Shoot Hoops at MSAC
Specially for those of the active persuasion, the MSAC Teenage Holiday Program suits those of all physical abilities and will run from the 22nd – 26th of September at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre in Albert Park. For only $15 a day, teenagers can get their hearts racing with a mix of Zumba, swimming, boomerang throwing, basketball, badminton and more.

Holidays in the Big City
As always, there’s something fun to do during the school holidays at iconic Federation Square. Hop on a tram and enjoy a day out in the city – starting with AFL Grand Final Week celebrations including AFL Kids day and sports clinic on the 23rd of September. ACMI is also still showing DreamWorks Animation: The Exhibition daily, a must-see for fans of movies including Shrek and Madagascar. Creative souls can express themselves with NGV events associated with the Mid-Century Modern exhibition: our favourite is the chance to get involved with designing textile prints using screen printing techniques courtesy of Spacecraft Studio.
