Wondering what the kids can do these school holidays near Eastgardens? We have six events, two classes and eight clubs listed nearby. The mix includes skateboarding lessons, balance bike clinics, library storytime, little athletics, football, rugby and music.

When the school holidays are

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 first.

Events

  • Sunday skateboarding lessons and balance bike clinics, both in Alexandria.
  • Rhymetime at Green Square Library, for ages 0 to 2, and Storytime, for ages 3 to 5, both in Zetland.
  • Bump, Baby and Beyond, a motherhood event, and Barbells and Babies, both in Alexandria. These look aimed at parents, so check whether children can come along.

We have not been given prices or times for these, so please confirm with the organiser.

Sport, music and play

In Eastgardens the clubs listed are Randwick Botany Little Athletics Centre, KIKOFF Eastern Suburbs, Song School Maroubra, Maroubra Missiles Junior Rugby Union Club and Timezone Australia. Eastgardens Library is also listed. A little further away you will find Mutch Park Squash and Tennis Centre in Pagewood and Heffron Hawks Football Club in Hillsdale.

Kid's Play and Kid's Acro are the two classes, both listed in Daceyville. Ask the organisers whether they run in the holidays and which ages they take.

Planning the day

  • Pick one main activity and one backup. Eastgardens Library is a calm option if the weather turns.
  • Sports clubs often follow a season, so ask what they run in the holidays.
  • Allow travel time, as the events are in Alexandria and Zetland.
  • Book early where the organiser takes bookings.
  • Bring water, a hat and a snack, and ask the organiser what your child should wear.
