School holidays are a valuable opportunity for students to have some much needed rest and a break from the term just passed. And it’s not only a time for students – parents also look forward to relief from the daily routine of drop offs, pickups, school lunches and school uniforms. This freedom from routine is a big bonus of school holidays for children and parents alike.
School holidays are a time for some serious relaxation, spending time with family and friends and fun activities. But it’s not always easy for parents to keep their children entertained and engaged in activities that keep them motivated and help avoid those all-too-familiar ‘I’m bored’ moments every parent dreads.
School holiday planning for parents is a common concern at the end of term, especially when parents need to work through the break. Try these boredom-busting ideas by enrolling your child into the most engaging and creative school holiday programs, Rocketeers by Camp Australia; the trusted choice for school holiday care.
Take the hassle out of organising holiday activities with our highly acclaimed holiday programs for kids.
