The autumn school holidays are running from April 15 to April 26 - and whether workshops, events or games, there's plenty happening around town to keep everyone busy and engaged until school returns.
Okay, I'll bite
There's no need to carp on, as kids from 8-14 are invited to the Narrandera Fisheries Centre on April 18 or 19 for a free two-hour fishing workshop.
From setting up a rod, knot tying, and casting techniques, kids can learn some great fishing tips from expert anglers before a practical session - learning everything they need to start their fishing journey around the local area.
All equipment is supplied on the day, meaning places are limited and group bookings are not available. A trusted adult must accompany every child to assist with the practical sessions.
Tickets are available through eventbrite.
Sew be it
Trading tails for tassels, a special colourful event from Sew Fab will be offering up the chance for those eight years old and older to create their own wall art creations.
A hands-on workshop will be teaching the craft of tassel art, perfect for hanging on walls and providing a splash of colour to a dreary room. Young artists need no experience to be able to master the creations and develop something unique to capture their imagination.
The Rainbow Tassel Wall Art workshop will be held on April 24 from 10.00am at Sew Fab, on East Street in Narrandera.
Skate Life
Teenagers can shred up a storm on April 19 with a free skateboarding class or a mentoring session at Narrandera Skatepark, courtesy of Totem Skateboarding.
As part of Youth Week 2024, free skate classes for beginners, and mentoring sessions for skating - before a jam session for all to show off their new skills.
All necessary equipment will be provided, but skaters are welcome to bring their own gear if they prefer.
Tickets are available online.
Feel the Beat
Finally, it's time to feel the groove in Darlington Point with a roller disco at Murrumbidgee Shire Hall on April 24.
A session for younger movers and shakers will be run from 11am to 12pm for those 11 years old or younger, while anyone older can hit the floor from 12.30pm until the event wraps up at 2.00pm.
For those uncertain, a beginner skate workshop is also being held to teach the elements of stopping, moving forward and most importantly, how to fall safely - the workshop is suitable for all ages five and above.
Rental skates are available but skaters must bring their own safety equipment they wish to have. Blades are not allowed.
Children under five must be accompanied by an adult while in the skating zone.
