It's a juggle

Do the maths. There is approximately 12 weeks of school holidays each year, and most of us who work full time are lucky to get 4 weeks off each year. In many households across Australia both parents work full time, which can put a lot of strain on the family over the school holidays.

Then there are many single parents. It’s definately a juggle.

In a lot of cases friends or family are called upon for assistance. Some workplaces are flexible and may allow ‘work from home’ time, but this just provides the kids with the support of a parent at home, not organised activities that will keep them off the couch and their devices.

It’s handy having family close by who can receive the pressure, but after being home or at grandma’s place for a few days, kids tend to get bored and frustrated without a structured school holiday routine or activity in place.

The team at schoolholidayprograms.com.au understands the struggle.
We have put together hundreds of school holiday programs for you and your kids to browse through and fill the school holidays with fun and adventure.

Eugene Meskell has three children; 2 in primary school and the other in the early years of high school. She works from home, which she loves, but she finds that school holidays are frustrating for her children, as they can see her there, but she can’t interact with them or take them out for some fun.

She explains “They find it hard to understand that I might be home, but I am actually working. Just before the last school holiday period I came across schoolholidayprograms.com.au and got the kids to search through and choose two activities each that they wanted to do. They spent hours searching and planning and came to me with their requests. I’m sure it will become our pre school holiday ritual”

Make your children’s school holidays memorable, with week long camps where they will make life long friends and workshops where they will learn and developed new skills.
