Spring into school holiday fun

School holidays are just around the corner. Lucky we’ve got lots planned to keep your kids busy – with putt-putt, treasure hunts, discos and more!

Activities will suit all interests, needs and abilities from long-day care, entertaining environmental programs, art exhibitions and swimming lessons.

Get in quick and register to guarantee a spot.

If you need your little ones to be cared for and entertained all-day, sign them up for fun games and craft at one of our all day Vacation Care centres. Parents can relax knowing their kids will be well looked after by our experienced and motivated educators.

The safety of our community and staff are our top priority. Based on advice from the NSW Government, our spring activities will be taking place in-centre. But this won’t change how much fun the kids have. We have a fun time disco, mini putt putt, an inflatable obstacle course, an amazing race, picnic, a GoGo Play Inflatable, smoothie making with a bike blender, gaming with Gamerz and much more!

Visit the gallery and on your way out, pick up a free blank postcard to create a personalised map of your life on the Northern Beaches. Photograph your postcard, share it on Instagram at #magamnsw or email it to [email protected] so we can print and display it in the gallery’s foyer.
