The RISE is thrilled to present our Summer Holiday Programs—a season packed with engaging activities for children of all ages, guaranteed to bring joy, creativity, and energy to their holiday break. With a wide variety of activities, from sports to arts and crafts, there’s something for everyone!
Our holiday programs begin with a special Christmas Event on Wednesday, 18 December. This magical one-day celebration is the perfect start to the season, featuring gingerbread biscuit decorating, Christmas crafts, a ceramic tree decorating activity, and a festive movie to wrap up the day. It’s a great way for children to get into the holiday spirit and enjoy a few hours of seasonal fun!
Following the Christmas Special, our January program kicks off on Monday, 20 January, and runs through Friday, 31 January. Each session is crafted to keep kids entertained, engaged, and learning throughout the holidays. From Crazy Craft sessions to active Multisport clinics and from creative Lego-building challenges to drama and dance workshops, our programs are designed to cater to a wide range of interests and skills.
Each session costs $30.90 and lasts for three hours, providing a full and enriching experience for children. Registration opens on Monday, 2 December and can be completed through our online portal, in-person at The RISE Reception, or via our downloadable interactive PDF form.
