July School Holidays 2026 in Melbourne: Fun Activities and Sports Programs for Kids

 

The July school holidays are almost here, and if you're looking for ways to keep the kids active, social and entertained, there are plenty of exciting opportunities available across Melbourne.

Running from Saturday 27 June to Sunday 12 July 2026, the winter break is the perfect time for children to stay moving, make new friends and try something new.

 

Why Keep Kids Active During the Holidays?

School holidays are an opportunity for children to:

  • - Stay active during the colder months 

  • - Build confidence and resilience.

  • - Develop sporting skills.

  • - Meet new friends.

  • - Enjoy a healthy balance away from screens.

  • - Return to school refreshed and ready for Term 3.

At Fit For Kids Co, we believe the holidays should be filled with fun, laughter and plenty of movement.
