Program Structure

Welcome to the Sit Happens School Holiday Program — a full-day, fully-supervised, fun-soaked adventure your kids will beg to come back to. Designed to spark creativity, burn energy, build confidence and give parents a well-deserved breather. Each session is packed with hands-on activities, themed adventures, silly games, quiet corners, messy masterpieces and wholesome chaos, all led by our trained, WWCC-cleared Sit Legends. It’s the perfect mix of structure and freedom, excitement and safety, learning and play — school holiday care with heart, humour and a whole lot of magic.

What the Kids Can Expect

Think:
Colour explosions, messy play (that you don’t clean up), creative workshops, tiny science experiments, big outdoor adventures, themed days, group challenges, and enough fun to have them asking,
“Is it Sit Happens day again?!”

Who Can Join the Fun?

Our School Holiday Program is designed for primary-aged kids (5–12 years) — big enough for big activities, little enough to love the magic of play. Whether they’re crafty, sporty, sensory, social, quiet or high-energy, we tailor every day to suit different ages and personalities. Mixed-age groups work beautifully: older kids lead, younger kids follow, and everyone finds their tribe. If your child has additional needs or support requirements, just let us know — every child is welcomed, included and supported.

● Camp Life

Sample Itinerary

Doors open. Welcome, Warm-Up & Settling In
Kids sign in, find their crew, check out the day’s setup and jump into a gentle warm-up activity.
Think LEGO, drawing, morning games, and “OMG you’re here!” reunions.

8.00am

Big Morning Activity
The hero moment of the day — craft explosions, STEM challenges, drama games, creative build missions, sensory fun, or outdoorsy adventures. Every day is different. Every activity is risk-assessed. Every child is involved.

9:00am

Snack Break + Chill Time
We refuel, rehydrate, reset and… wipe 47 crumbs off the table.

10:30am

Group Games & Outdoor Fun
Movement-based play designed to burn energy, build teamwork and spark big belly laughs.
If we can take it outside — we will.

11:00am

Lunch + Free Play
Kids choose from cosy corners, board games, construction stations, calm spaces or backyard-style play.

12.30pm

Afternoon Adventure Block
A second big activity — art lab, science experiments, design challenges, messy play, drama sessions or themed stations.
Imagination: activated.

1:30 PM

Afternoon Tea + Reset
Snacks, water, recharging and a moment to breathe.

3:00 PM

Chill Out, Choose Your Own Fun + Pack Down
End-of-day wind-down: building, board games, giant colouring, dance-offs or outdoor chill time.
Parents collect happy, worn-out, joy-filled kids.
