Hi Reader

Two weeks. We made it.

However your school holidays went – packed with adventures, held together with screen time, or somewhere in between – the finish line is officially in sight.

Term 2 kicks off next week, and we’re choosing to celebrate that fact. Before we get there though, there’s still a whole weekend ahead, and Melbourne has no shortage of ways to fill it.

But before we jump into this week’s roundup – we want to know how your holidays really went. Cast your vote below 👇

On that note, let’s make these last few days count…

​No Mother’s Day emails for me, thanks.
