Physics fun at Rainbow Library
Young people at Rainbow Library got hands-on with science during Hindmarsh Shire Council’s April 2026 school holiday program, with a lively science session led by Council’s playgroup facilitator Jess.
The activity inspired participants to explore physics by building their own vehicles on April 15.
The one-hour session gave children the chance to learn through play as they experimented with movement, design, and simple physics concepts in a fun, interactive setting.
The Rainbow Library session formed part of Hindmarsh Shire Council’s broader April school holiday program, which attracted more than 400 young people from across the municipality over two weeks of activities.
Hindmarsh Shire Council mayor Ron Ismay appreciated everyone for delivering a range of activity sessions across the shire during the Easter holidays.
“The successful completion of April’s school holiday program reflects our Council’s ongoing commitment to providing free, safe and accessible opportunities for local families,” he said.
“I commend our dedicated team and community partners for delivering a program that supported learning, connection and fun for children across our municipality.”
Council thanked all facilitators and community partners who contributed to the program, including Trina from headspace, Matt and Vedang from Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly, and others who helped deliver activities for Hindmarsh families.
The school holiday program was made possible through funding from the Victorian Government’s Amplify and Engage programs, which support opportunities for young people to participate in and celebrate their local community.
