Winter School Holiday Activity at Hinkler Hall of Aviation
Winter School holiday activities don’t always need to be big or complicated to be meaningful. Sometimes a simple hands-on project is enough to keep kids engaged, calm and proud of what they’ve made. The Bert Hinkler Pottery Statue activity at Hinkler Hall of Aviation gives children the chance to get creative while also connecting with a local Bundaberg story. It’s a small, focused session where kids can design and paint their own Bert Hinkler pottery statue, making it a nice option for families looking for something creative, affordable and indoors during the winter school holidays.
This activity will be held on Wednesday 8 July 2026 at Hinkler Hall of Aviation. There are two session times available: Session 1 from 9:30am to 10:30am and Session 2 from 10:30am to 11:30am. The activity is suitable for children aged 5 to 12 years, and the cost is $5 per child.
Children will design and paint their own Bert Hinkler pottery statue, with paints and pottery provided. It’s a guided creative activity, so children can enjoy making something of their own without families needing to bring materials from home. Bookings are essential, so families should secure a spot before attending.
Creative activities like this help children slow down, focus and use their imagination. Painting a small statue gives kids the chance to make choices, practise fine motor skills and feel a sense of achievement when they finish their piece. It also introduces a gentle link to local history, with Bert Hinkler being an important part of Bundaberg’s story. For parents and carers, it’s a practical holiday option: short, affordable, indoors and easy to plan around. These kinds of activities can be especially helpful for families wanting a quieter alternative to bigger, busier school holiday events.
