Right now, school holiday activities in Castle Hill that we can list are mostly library sessions for babies, toddlers and preschoolers, plus one music option in Baulkham Hills. We're still adding holiday programs for primary-school-age kids near Castle Hill. The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 7 weeks). These are NSW public-school dates, and Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your own school's calendar.
Library sessions for little ones
Six events are listed, and most are at local libraries. Baby Bounce runs at Castle Hill Library and at Dural Library. Preschool Storytime is listed at Castle Hill Library and Baulkham Hills Library. Toddler Time is at Dural Library. These are all free-and-easy ways to get out of the house with little ones, but we don't have prices or times, so check with the library. Some sessions may pause or change during the break, so confirm before you travel.
Building fun at the library
Bricks in the Library - Inclusive Builders is also listed at Castle Hill Library. We don't have an age range or details of who it suits, so ask the library about the ages and how the session works. It sounds like a good fit for kids who love building.
Music in Baulkham Hills
Ace Music is listed in Baulkham Hills. We don't have details of its classes or holiday offers. If your child is curious about an instrument, ask whether they offer a trial lesson.
Ideas for the days

Planning the days
If you have school-age kids, you will probably want more than we have listed so far. The libraries are a good place to ask, because staff often know about local holiday programs. Your child's school newsletter and the council's own pages are worth checking too.
Go easy on the schedule. Library sessions are short, so pair one with a playground or a cafe stop. For the latest times and details, use the events and clubs below and head to the organisers' own pages.
