Children’s Week is a celebration of all the things that make children special. It is a chance for the community to gather and recognise the unique talents, rights, and achievements of children.


With children’s rights as the major focus, the theme for 2024 is “Children have the right to a clean and safe environment’.


Children's rights are essential principles that ensure young people are protected, heard, and supported in their development. In Australia, National Children's Week is celebrated annually, focusing on the importance of these rights as outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.


By celebrating this week, we can empower children, acknowledge their achievements, and remind everyone of our shared responsibility to create a supportive environment where all children can thrive. Join us in honoring this important occasion and fostering a love for reading, learning, and advocacy among our youngest members!
