Exciting times for kids at The Spark Academy in the July School Holidays

-

There are some wonderful workshops and opportunit­ies coming together for the July SPARK holiday program running from 10-13 July at St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School.

The Tuesday will see us welcoming Coster MMA to the program with a Mixed Martial Arts session.

The session will help improve fitness, strength, confidence, balance, discipline and teach valuable self-defence skills. A session your child cannot afford to miss! We also have Heal the Beat Drumming coming in for a loud crashing, bashing session of drumming to start our program off with a bang!

Wednesday sees the return of a whacky Science session, a junior art program and due to demand, a new Auslan session!.

If your child came to the Auslan session in the last program, their skills will be built upon in this one, but newcomers will also be very welcome.

Thursday will showcase our Performing Arts and Elite Sports Performers Program. We will attempt to create a ‘Play in a Day’, perform Musical Theatre and run a session of Three Sports in Three Hours with some of our successful graduates from the ESP Program.

If STEM is your passion, Friday is the day for you! For the first time we will be running a ‘SPARK STEM Academy’ for the whole day.

This incredible opportunit­y will allow participan­ts to work with some of Gippsland’s most talented Science and STEM staff and use stateof-the-art technologi­cal equipment not generally accessible to primary aged students.

The SPARK Academy will also involve a session using Virtual Reality headsets that will allow students to explore SPACE from the comfort of our very own classrooms!

This day has been six months in the making and we are very excited to offer this opportunit­y to children in our community.

To book, follow the link on the St Paul’s website or via trybooking: www.trybooking.com/WEWZ

We can’t wait to see you in July!
