Make week fun for kids

Children’s Week will be held from October 19 to 27 and will see thousands of Victorian children aged up to 12 taking part in the festivities.

Local councils and not-for-profit organisations are encouraged to participate, opening their doors to the community with a range of fun and educational open days, displays and special events.

Grants up to $1000 are available to host free activities which may include art exhibitions, outdoor or messy play activities, dance workshops, musical performances, picnics and sporting activities.

Applications for grants close on July 19 and can be applied for by visiting education.vic.gov.au/about/events/Pages/childrensweek
