Children's Week 2024

Published on 24 September 2024

Children's Week is a national celebration. It recognises the talents, skills, achievements and rights of children. The event takes place in October every year, with thousands of Victorian children taking part in the festivities.

Children’s Week 2024 will be held between Saturday 19 October to Sunday 27 October 2024.

The theme for Children’s Week 2024 is: “Children have the right to a clean and safe environment”.

Monash Libraries are running several events for Children's Week:

Waste truck storytime 

Mulgrave Library (Ages 1-5)
22nd October, 2pm.

The truck will be in the Mulgrave Neighbourhood house car park. Families will be invited to explore the truck, ask questions and take photos. The Sustainable Monash Team will also be present to showcase some recycled projects/ ideas that the children are welcome to work on.

Join us for special storytime sessions at our libraries to celebrate Children’s Week and Grandparents Day.
