KINGSTON has the school holidays sorted with a host of activities on offer, including arts workshops, swimming, fun at the library, and an action-packed vacation care program.
The fun is being offered at libraries, Kingston Arts Centre, Waves Leisure Centres and at four local schools.
Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said the holiday activities would help local families care for children during the school breaks. “Come along for a range of fun, active, interesting holiday events suited for kids of all ages,” she said.
