Overview

It’s elf-ficial, Santa Claus has confirmed that Elf Academy is returning to Bendigo!

They're cheeky, creative and full of joy... but do you know what it really takes to be one of Santa's little helpers?

Through a series of craft activities, games and challenges, this prestigious training facility provides recruits with the skills required to join Santa's renowned team as a qualified elf, graduating with a Certificate IV in Elf Training!

Recruits will discover how to care for animals, create masterpieces worthy of hanging on any tree, stack presents as high as the clouds, and most importantly, prepare Santa for his around-the-world trip.

New activities have been added, and extra magic has been sprinkled into the curriculum, ensuring this year will be bigger and better than ever!
