Looking for school holiday activities in Westmead? We have basketball clinics, library workshops, dance and music classes and a few clubs listed in the suburb and in nearby Parramatta, Granville, Merrylands and Baulkham Hills. The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 6 weeks). These are the NSW public-school dates. Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your own school's calendar.
Sport and active play
Two basketball clinics in Merrylands are split by age, which makes them easy to match to your child.
- Basketball Clinic for ages 6 to 9.
- Basketball Clinic for ages 10 to 13.
- Power Within Wing Chun in Parramatta.
- Willsford Homes Reserve Playground in Baulkham Hills, for a run around outside.
Workshops and library sessions
- ABii Robot Tutoring, listed for ages 4 to 11, at Wentworth Point Library, and another ABii Robot Tutoring session at Constitution Hill Library.
- Henna on Hands at Wentworth Point Library.
- Super Smart Play Bus Playgroup in Merrylands.
- Wentworthville Library, and Lachlan's Old Government House in Parramatta.
Library names and suburbs in the listings do not always line up, so confirm the address with the organiser before you set off. A playgroup is usually for younger children, so ask about ages too.
Dance, music and art
- Abhivyakti Dance Academy and Westmeadartworld, both in Westmead.
- Intermediate Jazz and Intermediate Lyrical classes, plus Teeny Tiny Tots, in Baulkham Hills.
- International School Of Music in Wentworthville.
- Hawks and Falcons classes in Granville. Ask the organiser what they cover and which ages they take.
Planning the day
Only a few of these are in Westmead itself, so most days will involve a short trip. Check the travel time first, especially if you are combining two stops. Ask each organiser whether the session runs in the holidays and whether you need to book. We don't have prices, so confirm the cost too.
Pick one main activity per day and leave space around it, so younger children are not rushed. A quiet library morning followed by something active in the afternoon works well for many families, and it keeps the cost down if you mix paid and unpaid options.
Use the events and clubs below to find each organiser, then check their own page for current times, prices and places.
