For school holiday activities in Blacktown, we have pools, libraries, an arts centre and a few community events listed, with more nearby in Seven Hills and Doonside. The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 7 weeks). Those are NSW public-school dates, and Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your own school's calendar.

We are still adding holiday programs for this area. Treat this as a starting point and check with each organiser for current details.

In Blacktown

  • Blacktown Aquatic Centre
  • Blacktown Arts Centre
  • Blacktown City Bowling Club
  • Max Webber Library

The aquatic centre suits a warm day, the arts centre suits a creative one, and the library is an easy, quiet option. We do not have their holiday programs, so ask each venue what is on for children and which ages it suits.

In Seven Hills

Seven Hills has Wentworthville Memorial Swim Centre, Lalor Park Library, Toongabbie Sports and Bowling Club and the PRCAC Model Aerodrome. If your kids are curious about model planes, the aerodrome is worth a call to ask when it is open to visitors.

Events

Three events are listed. Two are bushcare meet ups, one at Snowy Reserve in Seven Hills and one at Nurragingy Reserve in Doonside. Check with the organiser whether children can join and whether a parent needs to stay. The third is a youth legal workshop run by UNSW in Blacktown called The Criminal Process. The title suggests it is aimed at young people, so check the age range. The events below show the latest on each one, and some may fall outside the break.

Planning the days

  • Pick one anchor activity each day, then keep the rest flexible.
  • Check the age range and cost with the organiser, as we do not list them.
  • Ask whether you need to book ahead.
  • Allow travel time if you want to combine Blacktown and Seven Hills.

For the latest details, check each organiser's own page, and come back as we add more holiday programs near Blacktown.
