Holiday Fun: Move, Create & Bake!
Course Summary
This holiday program wraps children in a world of movement, colour, and delicious discovery.
Children will dance, create, laugh, and learn — shaping memories as vibrant as the shirts they design and as sweet as the treats they make.It’s a day that celebrates creativity in all its forms, from expressive movement to hands‑on making, all in a supportive environment.
What parents love most about YCC’s school holiday programs is that they’re always unique and a little bit different. And not to mention, so much FUN!

Cooking:
Food and storytelling sit at the heart of Kristina Naray’s life practice as a cook, host and cultural storyteller, of mixed Bisaya Subanen Filipino and Hungarian heritage. She holds a Bachelor of Health Sciences, majoring in Nutrition and Health Promotion, with her career spanning community nutrition education, and digital health in the healthcare sector, to hosting intimate pop-up lunches and dinners, and teaches cooking workshops, where she shares dishes and practices passed down from her family and communities.
Kristina is part of The Entree Pinays, a collective of entrepreneurial Filipinas introducing Filipino cuisine, culture and community to Australia. Each dish she shares celebrates pre-colonial Filipino foodways often dismissed as provincial farmers’ food, despite being among the most nourishing, sustainable, and culturally rich practices in the Philippines.
