Looking for school holiday activities in Burwood? We have reading and toddler sessions, music and dance studios, martial arts and a camp listing in Burwood, with more classes in nearby Ashfield, Enfield and Homebush. The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 6 weeks). These are the NSW public-school dates. Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your own school's calendar.

Events and sessions

  • Reading Rocks!, Burwood Brick Builders and Toddler Time, all in Burwood.
  • Get Job Ready! in Burwood. Check which age group it is for.
  • Reading Rangers and Pre-school Storytime in Homebush.
  • Burwood Council events and library programs, listed in Burwood.

Burwood Council publishes its own events and library programs, so its page is a good place to look for what is on in the break.

Music, dance and martial arts

  • PDC Dance Studio, Shine Music School Burwood, Vivo Music Studio and The ONE Smart Piano Burwood, all in Burwood.
  • Kronos BJJ in Burwood.
  • Kid Karate Classes in Rodd Point, Mini Tigresses in Leichhardt and Little Tigers in Canada Bay.
  • Kpop Kids and Kpop Teens in Ashfield, and Art Just For Fun in Enfield.
  • CCC Camps in Burwood. Ask the organiser about the ages it takes and what a day looks like.

Ideas by age

Toddler Time and Pre-school Storytime are the sessions aimed at the youngest children. Kpop Kids and Kpop Teens are split by age group, which helps if you have a child at each stage. For the music studios, the dance studio and the martial arts clubs, we don't have age ranges, so ask each one who they take and whether a new child can try a class.

Planning the day

A lot is packed into a small area here, so you can often combine two things without much travel. A library or reading session in the morning and a music or dance class in the afternoon makes a full day without being rushed.

Regular classes and studios don't always run through the break, and some run a separate holiday timetable. Ask the organiser whether it is on, whether a casual place is open and what it costs. We don't have prices.

Use the events and clubs below to find each organiser, then check their own page for the latest times and places.

Built from Roolu's local listings. Dates, prices and ages can change, so check with each organiser before you go.
