School Holiday Boredom Busters
Get ready for an action-packed school holidays across the Shire this September!
12 September 2024 - 09:04AM
From sports session to creative arts and crafts, there’s something for everyone in our diverse range of events. Whether your child loves to play sports, engage in imaginative activities, or explore new skills, our holiday program offers the perfect opportunity to get involved, make new friends, and have fun.
Throughout the week, children can dive into the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef through our Virtual Reef Tours at Cooktown Library, or they can get crafty with activities like decorating terracotta pots, fridge magnets, and creating paper dreamcatchers.
If sports are more their thing, there are plenty of opportunities to get active, with touch football, beach volleyball, and basketball games scheduled across various locations.
This holiday season, Cook Shire’s program is packed with free events that cater to all ages and interests. With activities designed to entertain and inspire, there’s no better way to spend the school break.
Don’t miss out on the fun – mark your calendars and join us for a holiday to remember!
