School holiday activities in Sandringham are mostly a club-and-class story right now. Roolu has one event, one taekwondo class, two library listings and a handful of dance, music, martial arts and pool options in and around the suburb. The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 6 weeks). Those are the NSW public-school dates, and Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your own school's calendar.

The one event

Magic of Christmas is listed in Carss Park. It is the only event we have near Sandringham at the moment, so it is worth a look if your family likes a festive outing. Dates, times and tickets are up to the organiser, so check their page before you go. If more turn up, they will appear with the events below.

Libraries and quiet time

Sans Souci Library is listed with branches at Sandringham and Taren Point. Libraries are a reliable place to spend a slow morning, and many run their own programs for children. We don't have the program details, so ask the library or look at its own page to see what is on in the break.

Move, dance and make music

  • Mary's School of Music & Performing Arts is in Sandringham.
  • Sans Souci Dance and Fitness Studio is in Sans Souci, and Parallel Dance Academy is in Ramsgate.
  • Beginners Taekwondo is held in St George, and Kinetic Martial Arts is at Ramsgate Beach.
  • Sans Souci Olympic Pool and North Ramsgate ASC are both listed in Sans Souci.

The facts we hold don't include ages, prices or timetables for these, so contact each one. Ask whether they run something in the holidays and whether beginners are welcome.

A simple way to plan

Pick one thing that suits your child, such as a dance class, a martial arts trial or a swim, and build the week around it. Add the Christmas event if it suits. Check opening hours and fees for the pool before you pack the bags. Keep a day or two free, because school holidays go quickly.

We're still adding holiday programs near Sandringham. For the latest times and bookings, use the organisers' own pages from the events and clubs below.
