The City of Casey’s annual Children's Week event will be held on Thursday 22 October 2026 at the Old Cheese Factory in Berwick.
This year’s National Children’s Week theme is "Children have the right to use their own language, celebrate their culture and practice their religion." Which aligns with Outcome 1 of the VEYLD Framework, “Children with a strong sense of identity are comfortable in their cultures and communities, including using their home language. For Koorie children, learning on, with, from and about Country is central. Professionals respect each child’s temperament, strengths, personality and culture, and encourage collaboration, initiative, persistence, and new challenges.”
Every child and family celebrate traditions and activities based on culture, like going to the footy on ANZAC Day, religious celebrations, games, or activities passed down generations or newly formed.
To assist us design a fun Children's Week event celebrating and sharing diverse cultures of Casey’s children up to six years old, we would like to ask them (with the help of parents/carers/educators) about their culture and how they like to celebrate.
We invite you to complete the below survey with your child. There is also the option for children to draw and submit a picture of the way they like to celebrate their culture.
By completing the survey, your child will go in the draw to win one of two family passes to Myuna Farm in Doveton. Please refer to the Myuna Farm Prize Terms and Conditions in the 'document library' on this page.
The survey will open on Friday 24 and close at 11.59pm on Monday 17 August. Winners will be announced and notified by email on Friday 21 August 2026.
