School Holiday Programs

Next School Holiday Dates: Friday 18 December to Wednesday 27 January 2027.
The Boy Who Found His Way Home by Grin and Tonic Theatre
14 - 15 January
From the comforts and luxuries of the big city to looking like a fish out of water in the raw beauty of the Straits, The Boy Who Found His Way Home is a tale of self-discovery and getting back to one's roots. Written by acclaimed Torres Strait Islander writer Jillian Boyd-Bowie, this hilarious show follows young Iothamo as he journeys home and tries to prove himself amongst his people.
Don't miss this family-friendly production from the team that brought you Lucky and the Flight of the Sky Puppies, My Name is Jimi, and the First Nations recontextualisation of Othello. Suitable for kids aged 6+.

WAVERIDER by Legs On the Wall
7 - 17 January
Get swept up in a thrilling ocean adventure in WAVERIDER, a family-friendly, physical performance that will have you going back in for more.
Performed on a gnarly inflatable wave, Legs On The Wall bring surf culture and jaw-dropping acrobatics together into an epic show celebrating our shared obsession with the sea. WAVERIDER also reflects on the marine life that calls the ocean their home, and the importance of looking after each other when plunging into the deep. Don't miss this free show that the whole family will love.
Bookings for the 2026 Summer WWAS program will open soon. This summer, kids can stay cool by exploring ceramics, painting, printmaking, and more over 4 fun-filled weeks.
