This spring dive into a jam-packed school holidays program with low-cost, family-friendly activities and adventures at the John McViety Centre.

Don’t miss the Precinct Open Day—it's sure to be a highlight! Join us at JMC on Saturday 12 October, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Throughout the day, you can drop into one of our many workshops, explore the grounds and community garden, or stop by the Healthy Food Co for a delicious Devonshire tea. Stick around into the evening for a special double-feature movie finale!

With Halloween just around the corner, it’s the perfect opportunity to embrace the spooky spirit at JMC’s movie night, also on Saturday 12 October. Grab your snacks, bean bags, or pillows, and settle in for back-to-back screenings: Night at the Museum at 4:30 pm and Freaky Friday at 7:00 pm.

If Pokémon is your passion, don't miss the Gonna Catch 'Em All - Pokémon Day! Enjoy themed crafts and a Pokémon hunt—who will catch them all? Bookings are still open, so be sure to secure your spot.

Also, we’re off on a bear hunt! Not just any bear hunt, though—a sensory adventure! Join us for a morning of fun exploration with sensory activities, followed by the bear hunt itself.

Mayor Glenn Docherty shared his excitement about the fun-filled program at JMC, designed to keep boredom at bay these school holidays.

“There’s so much to dive into these school holidays in Playford—from crafts and playtime to adventure and movies,” said the Mayor.

“We offer both fun and educational activities throughout the break, ensuring Playford’s young people stay entertained and engaged with something new.”
