Dancing through the school holidays

Macedon Ranges students were kept busy at a range of school holiday events before school resumed this week.

The shire’s young local residents danced their way through the holidays with a dance program on April 8 to 10, at Buffalo Sports Stadium in Woodend.

Throughout the three sessions, attendees learnt hip hop and acrobatic and acting skills in a fun and engaging environment.

Further north in Kyneton, the young people were encouraged to show their creative side at the creative building jam workshop on April 8 to 10.

The hands-on, creative school holiday collaboration was the place to be for children aged six to 13 years, and called on the creative-minded kids to help design and build a safe place for someone in trouble.

Using a huge range of reclaimed materials, the group collaboratively dreamt up and built a never-before-seen structure in the town hall, which culminated with a public grand opening to celebrate the build.

Other events that were held included a Hanging Rock exhibition and art competition, youth exhibition excursion, pool inflatable fun and an intensive learn to swim program.

Star Weekly photographer Damjand Janevski captured the fun.
