Come and see what happens when Waves meet the Wonders of our Coasts. Enjoy various craft activities, exciting science demonstrations and a tunnel for younger kids. High School students will help you discover what lives or grows on our coastline and how you can look after these areas.

Friday 12th July 10am - 12.30pm
Lincoln Event Centre
Booking is required, a $5 ticket allows entry for up to 4 people, including caregivers.
events.humanitix.com...

The Lincoln High School Sustainability Council have devised over 10 craft activities and simple science experiments for our annual KidsFest Event. This year children are invited to explore the coast through hands-on interactive crafts and science activities. They will learn about the life to be found on our beaches and rock pools and their importance to us. This craft morning is truly a community experience with the older students getting as much out of it through their organising and mentoring as the younger ones doing the activities and the learning.

About half will go towards state highways, with the rest destined for local roads.
