Children’s Week

Children's Week is a national celebration that emphasizes the importance of cultural diversity and the rights of children to express their identity through language, culture and religion across Australia.

Children's Week 2026 will take place from Saturday 24 October to Sunday 1 November 2026 and Council will host a range of engaging events and activities across the city to celebrate this important week.

The theme for 2026 is "Children have the right to use their own language, celebrate their culture, and practice their religion" based on UNCRC Article 30.

Please revisit the site in early September 2026 for more information.
