Children's Week

Children's Week

Children's Week is a national celebration. It recognises the talents, skills, achievements and rights of children. The event takes place in October every year, with thousands of Victorian children taking part in the festivities.

Children’s Week 2024 will be held between Saturday 19 October to Sunday 27 October 2024.

The theme for Children’s Week 2024 is: “Children have the right to a clean and safe environment”.

Local councils, not-for-profit organisations, schools and early childhood services organise a variety of events during Children's Week. These include open days, displays, special events, virtual spaces and online-based activities. The events celebrate childhood and showcase children's achievements.

The Department of Education is supporting more than 200 free Children’s Week events and activities for Victorian families with children aged up to 12 years. This gives families the opportunity to enjoy fun, engaging and educational experiences.
