Winter School Holidays - here we go!

Is it just us or have school holidays crept up quickly this year? Maybe it's due to the kids being home during the recent lockdowns, maybe we just didn't check the calendar, but either way here they are! Victorian school holidays run from Saturday, June 26th to Sunday July 11th. If you'd like some ideas and inspo on fun things to do with the kids over these two weeks, we've put together some great options to make it easier to discover what's happening across Frankston. 

There are also some great activities happening across lots of different Frankston City Council services like our libraries, PARC, Frankston Arts Centre and Youth Services. You can discover these here.
