Straight off the back of a 16-hour round trip, I thought I’d pen some tips that helped save the sanity of our four-wheeled enclave…

CRU Ignite Holiday Camp
09/10/2024 - 11/10/2024 @ 8:00 am - 6:00 pm

CRU Ignite is a 3-day holiday day camp in Marsfield, from 9-11 October for all kids from Kindy to Year 6. Packed full of fun & action, CRU Ignite will ensure your son or daughter makes the most of the opportunity to make new friends and build self-confidence during their school holidays!

CRU Ignite is a full-day program so you can drop your kids off on your way to work and pick them up on the way home, all the while knowing that they’ve been looked after and have had a great day. Our programs are all inclusive for children at primary school and activities are differentiated for infants (years K-2) and primary (years 3-6) campers.

Your child will enjoy the experience of being on camp, with the same group of kids and leaders, participating in exciting activities and exploring a Christian worldview, whilst still going home to sleep in the comfort of their own bed.

Registration includes an excursion day as well as pizza lunch on Friday and a free family BBQ for our Friday afternoon camp wrap-up.

Last year, places filled fast so don’t miss out! Rego opens on 5th August – get in quick!

Head to crudaycamps.com.au/cru-ignite to register or for more info.

Just Romeo and Juliet! At Pier 2/3
09/10/2024 - 12/10/2024 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm

Join us at Pier 2/3 for a special series of school holiday performances by Bell Shakespeare’s The Players!

When Andy unwittingly auditions for a school production of Romeo and Juliet, he gets more than he bargained for. In his efforts to impress Lisa, he lands a minor role in the play. The only problem is, Andy’s best friend Danny has won the role of Romeo, opposite Lisa as Juliet. Andy does all he can to derail the rehearsal and Shakespeare’s classic love story with hilarious results.

Featuring Shakespeare’s original language within a madcap adventure, follow Andy, Danny and Lisa as they rehearse the greatest love story ever known. It’s Andy Griffiths’ beloved humour in a rollicking tale of Shakespearean proportions.

9 – 12 October, Pier 2/3 Sydney. Tickets $29.

Wednesday 9 October 11am and 2pm
Thursday 10 October 11am and 2pm
Friday 11 October 1pm
Saturday 12 October 1pm
