Orchard Hills is small, so families usually look to St Marys, Kingswood and Penrith for school holiday activities. 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 own school's calendar.

We have no one-off holiday events listed for Orchard Hills at the moment. We hold six classes and eight clubs within reach, so this guide sets out what they are. We're still adding holiday programs near Orchard Hills.

Classes in St Marys

All six classes are listed in St Marys: Aldi Mini Roos, Primary Aged Classes (later timeslot), Little Dragon Champions, Champion Kids, Mat Ninjas and Physie for ages 3 to 4. The physie class is the only one with a stated age range; for the rest, ask the organiser who they suit. Primary Aged Classes has a later timeslot, which may help if mornings are busy.

Clubs and places

In Orchard Hills itself there is Nepean Martial Arts. The others are nearby:

  • Kingswood: Pinnacle Taekwondo Martial Arts In Penrith, Penrith Jiu Jitsu Club, Nepean Hockey Association, Harmony Music School and John Phillips Library
  • St Marys: Nepean Pony Club
  • Werrington: Western Combatives

The events and clubs below show each listing with a link to the organiser.

Ideas by age

Three-year-olds and four-year-olds have a physie class with a stated age band. Primary-age children have the primary classes and a spread of martial arts. Kids who love animals might ask Nepean Pony Club about holiday sessions. Music learners can ask Harmony Music School. A library visit makes a calm break between busier days.

Planning the days

St Marys, Kingswood and Werrington are all a drive from Orchard Hills, so check travel times before you book. Grouping activities in one suburb can save a lot of back and forth.

Many classes and clubs follow the school term, so ask each one whether it offers holiday sessions, trial days or casual entry. Booking is with the organiser, and popular groups can fill, so ask early. Keep a few days free so the week does not feel like a timetable.

Check the latest details

Times, prices and holiday arrangements are set by each organiser and can change. Use the links below to go to their own pages for the latest.
