Children’s Week 2025

Join us in celebrating Children’s Week from Saturday 18 October to Sunday 26 October 2025. Children’s Week recognises the talents, skills, achievements and rights of children. This year’s theme, “Everyone should know about children’s rights”, reminds us of the importance of creating safe, supportive environments where every child feels heard and valued.

As part of the celebrations, we’re running a fun and interactive activity at our after-school play and ride session at Kew Traffic School, to hear directly from some of Boroondara’s youngest residents. Their ideas will help shape our upcoming programming.
