Six Things to Make These School Holidays Way More Fun

Holidays are good for sleep-ins, but don't sleep on these deals.

First term is always so hard, isn’t it? You’ve just come off an epic summer break and then you’re thrown into ten weeks of textbooks and tests.

Thank goodness the school holidays have arrived and you can let loose with some fun activities and delicious eats. You deserve it, bestie.

What’s even better than epic holiday plans? Cheap epic holiday plans! And boy, have we got some deals for you.

1. Eat all of the yummy things.

Did someone say treat yo’self? We did, we said it.

Catch up with a pal over a bubble tea and get 2 for $10 regular fruity/milky iced teas with your Student Edge membership.

If it’s a little cooler outside, there’s nothing better than churros and a hot chocolate, and you could get both for $10.95 at San Churro.

Or get all your mates together for a pizza party and enjoy not only that cheesy doughy goodness, but also save 30% off large premium and traditional pizzas.

2. Catch a film at the cinema.

Is there anything better than some buttery popcorn, a comfy recliner chair and the latest flick up on the big screen?

There are some great movies out these school holidays, including The Lost City, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore and Sonic The Hedgehog.

So, grab your fave sweet or savoury treat and head here for a $12.50 ticket to HOYTS, thanks to our SE deal.

3. Play video games all night long.

Okay, this is not a good idea on a school night because it can have terrible effects on your concentration the next day.

But on the school holidays? Well, that’s acceptable right?

Especially when you can get a Microsoft Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription for $1! That’ll give you unlimited access to more than 100 games, plus up to four games for free every month and up to 75 per cent off the Xbox Store.

Uh, yes please? Claim it here.

4. Get competitive with some bowling.

Getting all your pals together for a night at the bowling alley is a super underrated time. Especially if you need an outlet to release some of your competitive energy.

But don't pay full price, friends. Save 15 per cent when you book two games of bowling online at Zone Bowling.

5. Spend time on your creative hobbies.

Our side hobbies can so often drop to the bottom of the to-do list when there is school work to be done. But the holidays are a great chance to jump back into creating fun content when you've got all the time in the world!

Explore your creativity, edit a holiday vlog, build a website, or even just design a cool poster with access to Adobe Creative Cloud's 20+ apps and do it all on the cheap with a good deal, of course.

Student Edge members can save 70 per cent on a subscription, getting it for $21.99 a month instead of $76.99 a month. That's a big saving and you can get it here.

6. Work out.

There are so many reasons to move your body every day, but it's easy to let your workout routine slip during the school term.

What better time to get back into your fitness than the holidays! And what better way to do it than with cheap gym memberships.

Student Edge members get 15 per cent off a 12 or 18 month Platinum Membership or Passport with Fitness First (ACT, NSW, QLD and VIC) and Goodlife (QLD, SA, VIC and WA). You can also get 95 per cent off three-month memberships with KIXXFIT – an online community of personal trainers, yoga, pilates, mindfulness and nutrition coaches!

Your body (and mind) will thank you for it.
