It seems like June Holidays was just yesterday and now September School Holidays is upon us. It may only be a week long, but there are activities galore during this holiday starting from 7th to 15 Sept. This is the week reserved for most students to gear up on the final exams. Nevertheless all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Don't know what to do this holiday?
Do not fret, as we bring you the top 10+ September School Holidays for kids. Hopefully these activities will help bond the families together.
1) Have a Staycation
Equarius Hotel
No time for the long vacation? A holiday is but a mere stone throw away in Sunny Singapore. Have a staycation at the family favourite Resort World Sentosa. Other notable locations include Marina Bay Sands, Fullerton Hotel and Shangri La Rasa Sentosa
See our reviews on Festive World RWS and Equarius Hotel RWS for more staycation ideas
2) Visit the Neigbours
Sunway Lagoon
Want to travel but reluctant to take the long flights? Try a bus ride to Genting or a trip to Sunway Lagoon.
