School Holidays
The City of Bunbury has a range of school holiday programs catering to all age groups - from five years old up to 17 years of age - and to all interests.
We have programs at the South West Sports Centre, Bunbury Regional Art Galleries, Libraries and Bunbury Museum and Heritage Centre. We also run our Unleashed school holiday program which takes place in various locations.
Unleashed!
MAROONED
Tuesday 24 April
Drop off: 8.30am @ Bicentennial Square
Pick up: 4.30pm @ Bicentennial Square
The kids will be ‘stranded’ on an Island and have to use their orienteering and navigational skills to locate components and build a raft to get to safety. They will then head down river on the newly built raft to the mainland where they have lunch followed by an array of games and team building activities.
LORDS OF DOGTOWN
Thursday 26 April
Drop off: 8.30am @ Bunbury Back Beach
Pick up: 4.30pm @ Bunbury Skate Park (Cobblestone)
This will be a day of educational, healthy and interactive activities introducing people to the sport of Skateboarding which they can continue for years to come. The boards will be old school cruisers (with COB and Roadwise stickers) suitable for both commuting and being used at skate parks, this way we feel we will also be giving back to the community by letting participants keep the boards whilst promoting and active and healthy lifestyles.
