School holiday program

About the program 

The school holiday program was designed for primary school-aged students to participate with their relatives and friends. Each hands-on activity has been planned in accordance with the K–6 NSW syllabus outcomes so that there is a clear link between the school holiday program and Sydney Metro's Fast-tracking the Future education program. 

School holiday activities

Sydney Metro’s free school holiday activities are now available for you to download.

Our STEM activities allow students to direct their own school holiday program at home. For each activity, there is a step-by-step guide and templates for primary-aged students to try a new skill and learn more about Sydney Metro. We recommend at least two or three hours for each activity.

Fun with robots workshop

This program concluded in 2025

Students worked in small groups to explore a series of challenges related to Sydney Metro. Sydney Metro is Australia’s most technologically advanced railway, and is Australia’s only fully-accessible, driverless train service.  

This fun workshop for students aged 8 to 12, allowed beginners to get a taste of programming by using an educational robot called Dash and an easy drag-and-drop visual coding tool called Blockly.
