Sans Souci families have a nice spread to pick from this break: festivals, Christmas events, a STEM and Stories session, taekwondo, dance and football. The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 6 weeks). Those are New South Wales public-school dates, and Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your own school's calendar.

Events around the bay

Four events are listed. The Bayside Diwali Festival is in Rockdale. STEM and Stories is for ages 5 to 10 and is listed in St George. The Community Christmas Concert is also in St George, and Magic of Christmas is in Carss Park. Event details are as the organisers publish them, so check each page for times, tickets and what to bring.

Classes and clubs

Beginners Taekwondo is the one class listed, in St George. Dance is well covered: Sans Souci Dance and Fitness Studio, Parallel Dance Academy and TK Dance Stars (both in Ramsgate), and Mary's School of Music & Performing Arts in Sandringham. Sans Souci Football Club is listed in Beverley Park, and Botany Bay Yacht Club is in Sans Souci. Ask each one if it runs during the break and what ages it takes.

Library visits

Sans Souci Library is listed under both Taren Point and Sandringham. Libraries are an easy, no-fuss stop on a day when the plan has fallen apart. Check opening hours and any kids' sessions with the library itself.

A simple way to plan

  • Anchor the week with one regular class or club.
  • Add one festival or Christmas outing for something special.
  • Keep a few open days for the beach, the park or a rest.
  • Check travel, because the listings are spread over Sans Souci, Ramsgate, Sandringham, Rockdale and St George.

The events and clubs below are kept current on Roolu. For the final word on times and prices, always go to the organiser's own page.
