Welcome to 2021 Geelong Children's Week Have Your Say page
Geelong Children’s Week - Saturday 23 October to Sunday 31 October 2021.
Did you attend a 2021 Children's Week event? If so, we'd love to hear from you!
The 2021 Children's Week program had more than 25 events and activities for children and families to connect in our community.
The program represented a positive collaboration between many local community organisations, groups and Council services.
The City, through the Family Services unit, has proudly brought you Children’s Week in Geelong since 2005 and we invite you to take part in our survey, which should only take a few minutes to complete.
We hope you and your children enjoyed the range of activities on offer this year.
Your feedback
Your feedback is a vital part of our planning for the future, and helps us to make decisions to ensure Geelong's Children's Week is an inviting event that meets the needs of the local community.
We'd love you to hear from you and your children.
You can provide feedback by taking our survey below, and we would love to hear from your children, see the "your children's voices' box below.
