Celebrating Children’s Week 2024 at Glen Education
Children’s Week is upon us, and this year’s theme is both meaningful and relevant: “Children have the right to a clean and safe environment.”
Inspired by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child (Article 24), this week highlights the importance of a healthy environment for children’s growth and happiness. Every child deserves access to clean water, nutritious food, and safe spaces to thrive.
At Glen Education, we fully embrace this theme by encouraging our children, families, and educators to reflect on how we can all contribute to a cleaner, safer world.
Here are some questions we’re asking this week:
For educators: How can we involve children in creating clean and safe environments, both in our kindergartens and in the wider world?
For children: What does a clean, safe environment look like? How can we ensure our kindergartens remains a safe space for everyone—plants, animals, and people alike?
Children’s Week is also an exciting opportunity to explore activities in the local community. Below are some events being hosted by local councils:
Stonnington Children’s Week Events
Monash Children’s Week Events
Bayside Children’s Week Events
We’d love to hear how your children are engaging with these ideas. Feel free to share their thoughts and experiences with us in the comments below.
At Glen Education, Growing People is at the heart of what we do. This special week’s theme aligns perfectly with our mission to help children become thoughtful, caring global citizens, aware of their role in protecting the world around them.
