Hindmarsh Shire mayor Ron Ismay said the council was keen to continue the range of activities during the next school holidays.
“It was fantastic to see the variety of free school holiday activities through the shire this school holidays and to see children of all ages attending and joining in on the fun,” he said.
“Thank you to council staff for organising these events. It will be good to keep up this momentum for future school holidays and I look forward to what is in order for next school holidays.”
Uniting Wimmera presented a Level-Up Gaming event at Dimboola, enabling young people to trial virtual-reality equipment, engage in competitive Mario Kart and play old-school video games.
Attendees were excited to learn the event would run at Nhill in coming months after organisers postponed the event due to a COVID-19 lockdown.
The council also hopes to establish Jeparit movie nights as a school holiday tradition after positive feedback from the Jeparit community.
It is also planning to run a Hindmarsh Shire photography tour for young people after a successful holiday event.
