Hindmarsh holiday fun

Hindmarsh Shire Council will host a series of interactive workshops and events throughout the April school holidays.

Mayor Debra Nelson invited youth and their families to participate in workshops to learn new skills, have fun and spend quality time together.

She said with activities and events on nearly every day of the holidays, there was sure to be something for everyone.

Activities run from April 2 to 13 and include movie screenings, a two-day film-making workshop, stage-lighting workshop, hip-hop choreography lesson, intro to film making, photography workshop and paintballing.

“Although there are some costs associated with this round of school holiday programs, thanks to State Government funding the activities are being offered at heavily subsidised rates to make them as affordable as possible for everybody,” Cr Nelson said.

Bookings are essential for all activities, except movie screenings, at Nhill Memorial Community Centre.

“Payment and registration forms need to be completed and returned before bookings can be confirmed,” Cr Nelson said.

“People can collect registration forms and make payment by going into their local council customer service centre.”

Cr Nelson said the council was pleased to be able to offer such a diverse range of events and activities.

“The school holiday program is scheduled after extensive consultation with young people and their families during school terms,” she said.

“We are very pleased with the ongoing growth in numbers participating and the input from the community regarding this program.”
