School holiday fun

Youth across Hume and the Macedon Ranges have been making the most of the spring school holidays.

In Macedon Ranges libraries, plenty of activities have been running to keep the kids entertained.

Romsey Library manager Raewyn Good ran a school holidays event at the local library, which she said was a lot of fun.

“As part of the Spring School Holiday Program, Romsey Library ran a couple of sessions around Worry Dolls on Tuesday September 30,“ she said.

“The sessions included a reading of Anthony Browne’s picture book, Silly Billy, some background on the Guatemalan tradition of worry dolls and a craft activity, with children making their own colourful worry dolls to take home and share their worries with.

“Goldfields Libraries have many free activities on offer over school holiday periods. These holidays in our Macedon Ranges branches, we made insect hotels, minecraft paper craft, had a lego challenge, teen junk journalling and a couple of movies, to name a few.“

Hume council hosted a Youth Fest takeover at Townhall Broadmeadows on Tuesday, September 30.

The day featured a fun day out for youth aged up to 26 to enjoy live music, games and fun.

Star Weekly photographer Damjan Janevski was there to capture the holiday fun.
