Oakhurst families have a decent spread to pick from this break: martial arts, art classes, swimming, dance and a run of local sports clubs, plus a few community events with a Christmas feel. Nothing here is marked as a holiday-only program yet, so treat it as a shortlist and check what each organiser runs when school is out.
The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 6 weeks). These are NSW public-school dates. Catholic and independent schools can differ.
Events to look at
- Santa's Arrival Parade at Westfield Mt Druitt, in Mount Druitt.
- Elara Village Night Market in Marsden Park.
- Bushcare meet up at Nurragingy Reserve in Doonside. It is an outdoor event, so ask the organiser whether children can join and what to bring.
Times and details come from the organisers, so check before you set off.
Classes to try
- Little Tigers in Mount Druitt.
- Kids Karate, Self Defense and Jiu Jitsu Classes in Mount Druitt.
- Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced art classes in Doonside, which is handy if your kids are at different levels.
Clubs to ask about
Most of the clubs we list are in Plumpton:
- Little Fishes Swim School for swimming.
- Static Dance Studios and Exclusive Dance for dance.
- Kyoukei Goju Ryu Karate for martial arts.
- Mount Druitt Little Athletics Centre, Western Raptors Rugby Clubs and Plumpton Braves Baseball Club for sport.
- Doonside Hawks Soccer Club, listed in Doonside.
Clubs often run on a season, so ask whether a child can try a session first and whether anything extra runs in the holidays. A weekly swim lesson or dance class can give the break a bit of routine if you want one.
Keeping the days simple
- Pair a class with an event on the same day when they are in the same suburb.
- Book early where the organiser takes bookings, and keep one or two days completely free.
- Ages are not listed for most of these, so ask each organiser what suits your child.
- Check travel times between Plumpton, Doonside and Mount Druitt on your map before you plan a double-up.
