Been wondering what you'll do with 6 long weeks of summer? You've been working hard all year and it's now time to sit back, relax and enjoy a summer of fun.
Thinking of fun-packed days can be a chore which is why we've created a summer activity guide, jam packed with 9 activities for you to learn new skills, develop hobbies and make memories!
1. Fun with friends
Summer is meant to be enjoyed!
After months of hard work, you deserve to relax.
Feeling bored is not on the schedule this summer!
Water balloon fight
Perfect for a scorching hot day!
Picture this.... sun blazing down, ice-creams in the freezer and a bucket full of water balloons ready to cool you down.
Is there a better way to spend a summers day? We don't think so!
Picnic in the park
For the days where you have less energy, why not pack up a picnic basket and head to your local park! Either with friends or by yourself you can take 3 - 4 hours out of your day to enjoy the sunshine.
Our perfect picnic accessories include:
Cooler bags
A good book
A bat and ball for picnic games
Slip and Slide
Who needs the waterpark when you can create your very own amusement park? Minimal cost and maximum fun.
Slip and slides can provide hours of entertainment without having to leave your house!
If you're looking for one to add to your summer activity list, you can find lots of options on Amazon. Our director, Allicia, personally loves the cheap answer of a shower curtain! They double up well for arts and crafts too.
2. Rainy day fun
A summer of memories ready to be captured!
Creating a summer scrapbook can take as little or as long as you like, it's easy to spend all day getting creative.
Begin at the beginning of your summer and you'll have a whole book of memories to look back on. You can even share with your teachers come September. Our top favourite scrap book essentials include:
A scrap book
Photo prints
Decorative stickers
Coloured art paper
Metallic marker pens
Movie marathon
For those quieter days when all you want to do is unwind. We recommend picking 5 of your favourite movies, grabbing the snacks and settling in for hours of pure movie bliss!
To elevate your movie night, you can order a portable projector to premiere your films with your very own back garden open theatre!
Our director, Claire, loves Legends of Secrets Pass as her go to family film.
Turn off your phone and escape reality for a few hours!

As important as relaxing is, we recommend taking 2 - 3 weeks towards the end of your holidays to refresh your mind on your studies.
Our Block Study sessions are perfect for preparing for the new academic year. We take 4 - 6 hours to bridge gaps in knowledge so that your new school year begins with confidence!
