School Holiday Programmes for Teens
Engage and inspire your child with our diverse, fun, and educational holiday activities and programs.
School holiday fun for tweens and teens
Is your child too old for vacation care, but not quite ready to be home alone during the school holidays?
Kids First has the answer.
Every school holiday, Kids First’s energetic team of child psychologists, speech therapists, OTs, and teachers offers programs that help kids to reach their therapeutic goals, master new skills, and connect with like-minded peers.
While 11 to 15 year old is enjoying cooking, art, craft, and other creative activities, they’ll be having so much fun they won’t even realise they’re learning.
Our School Holiday Workshops for Teens are best suited to children who attend mainstream schools and are in Years 6 to 9.
Group sizes are limited and NDIS-funded children are welcome.
Please see the booking form at the bottom of this page for available dates, times, and conditions.

What 11 to 15-year-old doesn’t love food?
