Newham gives the boot
to school holiday boredom
There'll be no signs of school
holiday boredom in Newham with the borough's school holiday
programme set to kick-off from May 26.
Whether you want to brush up on your football knowledge,
take a turn at cheerleading or even if you fancy yourself as
Newham's next top model, there's something for everyone and best of
all, the entire programme is free.
Newham Mayor, Sir Robin Wales, said the activities are a good
chance for young residents to get out in the community and meet new
friends during their break from school.
"Newham does more than any other local authority to provide
opportunities for people to get together have fun and be
active.
"The School Holiday Programme offers the young people of Newham
exciting educational courses that are aimed to teach them new
skills and boost their confidence at the same time.
"We offer a wide range of free activities, including an African
art workshop, a computer maintenance course and a theatre workshop,
to name just a few.
"The programme is open to anyone who lives in Newham, goes to
school in Newham or has a parent or carer working in the
borough."
