  4. Planning the day

Families near Emerton will find mostly martial arts, swimming and team sport in what Roolu lists nearby, plus a Santa's Arrival Parade at Westfield Mt Druitt. The classes are in Mount Druitt and St Marys, and the clubs sit in Oxley Park and Plumpton, so it helps to plan around the drive.

The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 6 weeks). Those are NSW public-school dates. Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your school's own calendar.

Events near Emerton

We list one event close by: the Santa's Arrival Parade at Westfield Mt Druitt. We don't hold the time or other details, so check the organiser's page. We're still adding holiday programs near Emerton, and more may appear as organisers publish them.

Classes in Mount Druitt and St Marys

  • Little Tigers, and Kids Karate, Self Defense and Jiu Jitsu Classes, both in Mount Druitt
  • Little Dragon Champions, Champion Kids and Mat Ninjas, in St Marys
  • Primary Aged Classes (later timeslot), in St Marys

The listings don't spell out the age range for every class, so ask each provider which ages they take. Ask about holiday sessions too, as times can change outside term.

Clubs and pools

  • Emerton Pools, listed under Plumpton, and Charlie Lowles Leisure Centre in Oxley Park. Opening hours and entry prices aren't in our data, so check before you go.
  • Nihon Bugeikan Martial Arts, Western Warriors Martial Arts and Penrith Jitsu Club, all in Oxley Park
  • Pollet's Karate Academy in Mount Druitt
  • Western City Rangers and Mount Druitt Netball Association in Plumpton

Clubs often run on a season, so ask whether a holiday trial session is possible rather than assuming it is.

Planning the day

  • Choose one or two things and leave gaps. A class plus a swim is plenty for many kids.
  • Check the distance between Mount Druitt, St Marys, Oxley Park and Plumpton before you book.
  • Contact the organiser about booking, what to wear and what to bring.

For the newest times, prices and availability, use the organisers' own pages.
