THERE\u2019S lots on offer to keep young people aged twelve to twenty-five busy across the Shire this January.<\/p>\n
The Golden Plains Shire\u2019s school holiday program is set to begin next Tuesday, 10 January, with 13 outings, events, workshops, and activities sessions planned until Wednesday, 25 January.<\/p>\n
Mayor Cr Brett Cunningham said everything programmed is free for young people to enjoy.<\/p>\n
\u201cCouncil\u2019s school holiday activities are an excellent opportunity for Golden Plains youth to learn new skills and connect with other likeminded young people from within the Shire,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese free activities combine fun options with practical training to equip young people with professional skills for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
At Bannockburn\u2019s Golden Plains Youth Hub, the sessions include an introduction to smart phone photography, workshops on the basics of how to use a digital single-lens reflex camera, portrait basics for smart phone and DSLR, and an introduction to robotics.<\/p>\n
At the Inverleigh Public Hall, the Shire\u2019s youth team is set to deliver cupcake decorating and flower arranging activities, an afternoon tea, and more smart phone photography education, this time focused on food.<\/p>\n
A cookie making course is coming to the Teesdale Community Hall, before the introduction to robotics reaches Haddon Community Learning Centre in the north.<\/p>\n
A picnic and hike day is set for Thursday, 12 January, while an excursion to Jan Juc will take place on Thursday, 19 January. The program finishes with 3×3 social basketball at YMCA Bannockburn.<\/p>\n
