The Sandalwood Family Centre in conjunction with The Goldfields Early Years Strategy Group is celebrating Children Week on Monday the 21st October 2024 at Hammond Park in Kalgoorlie.
The theme this year is ” Children have the right to a clean and safe environment”

Our aim is to provide a range of activities where the parent and child are engaged in play and learning connected to this year’s theme and the PCWA outcomes of nurturing the relationship between parent and child and connecting families to trusted services.

Activities will focus on:
• Celebrating children and the importance of a positive childhood,
• Promoting the importance of learning through play in early childhood,
• Celebrating diversity,
• Providing free activities and events for families to have fun together and increase their connection and sense of belonging within their community,
• Addressing specific identified needs within local communities through place-based events,
• Strengthening families by providing access to information and relevant community services to support overall health and wellbeing,
• Raising awareness of the UN Convention on the Rights of Children,
• Supporting families with children in remote and regional Western Australia.
Children’s Week is an event that allows an opportunity to engage parents and children, by encouraging them to celebrate and play together whilst giving local Community Organisations the opportunity to provide information and support on their specific services to all attending
