Winter holiday program fun

There are some great council-run activities happening across Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges these school holidays.

Hume council’s winter holiday program is absolutely jam-packed, with three events in Sunbury including an arts and crafts day, a first aid training event and an E-Games program.

On June 29, the arts and crafts day is open to kids aged 10 to 14, running 1pm to 4pm at the Sunbury Youth Centre. No matter what level you are, head along to try out some new art skills across a range of mediums.

Sunbury residents aged 15 to 24 are invited to take part in first aid training at the Sunbury Youth Centre on July 6, from 10am to 5pm. Bookings are required and it is currently fully-booked – put your name down on the waitlist in case of any cancellations.

E-Gamers aged 12 to 18 can head along to E-Games Hume Tour, on July 8 at the Sunbury Youth Centre, from 1pm to 4pm. Show off your skills and win some prizes.

There are some gorgeous activities happening in the Macedon Ranges too, including author Dee White’s writing workshop at Woodend Library on June 25, starting at 10am, open to all ages.

Join local artist Jo Mott for the Brush-tailed Phascogale Art Workshop, for kids aged six to 12, happening June 28 at Kyneton Library and Woodend Library, and July 5 at Gisborne Library and Romsey Library. Check times and book in on the Goldfields Libraries website.
