children’s week kicks off at burrinja

Today at Burrinja, Kidsfest Children’s Market and an all day community art project marked the start of Children’s Week. Hosted by Sherbrooke Children’s Centre, the market had something for the whole family. Get into Art was a great opportunity for children to get their hands dirty in the Play with Clay. Children relished the opportunity to create all manner of objects from modelling clay, from toadstools to solar systems, dragons to planes.

A number of activities have been planned across the shire for children’s week including the launch of the Shire’s draft Family and Children’s Strategy on Wednesday 28th Oct at Lillydale Lake as part of the Teddy Bear’s concert.

I am keen to hear what families think of our draft Family and Children’s Strategy as your input is important to held shape the future for children in the shire. I have been part of the steering group and it has been a great consultative process to date with much input from families, children and service providers.

I look forward to finding out what you think about our draft Family and Children’s Strategy.
