School Holidays

The Summer Holidays have been and gone, and we had a wonderful time delivering the Adventure Challenge, to get young people out and about right around PAE.

We're now getting ready for the April school holidays, and as always there will be plenty on offer for children and young people.

Libraries

Free, educational and entertaining activities are again on offer at City of PAE Libraries and two weeks ahead of the holidays you can download the program(PDF, 585.15 KB) or make a booking on our Library Events Calendar.

You can also visit the libraries for a wide range of both board and video games! Although this collection is available from the Port Adelaide branch, you can place a hold on any game and collect it from any of our libraries. There are even game consoles available to play!

 

The Lights

There are always plenty of activities to choose from at the Lights Community and Sports centre. Whether you’re interested in crafts, sports, baking or dance - we’ve got you covered.  Download the Lights April School Holiday program (PDF, 867.59 KB) .
