Hindmarsh Shire Council mayor Ron Ismay praised the program’s growing success.

"The Hindmarsh Shire school holiday program continues to grow from strength to strength, which is a testament to the amount of hard work that staff put in to create the activities and events," he said.

"The variety of activities ensures that there is something for everyone, which is another reason why the program is so successful."

The Games Day is one of many activities offered to keep young people engaged and active during the school break, reinforcing the community’s commitment to providing inclusive and enjoyable holiday experiences.
