Message for Children's Week 2015
Children are so precious to all of us, they represent our future and they have the enthusiasm and
potential to change our world and make it a better place.
Our great responsibility is to value our children, to celebrate them for who they are and appreciate them
for what they can be. We must do everything we can to ensure children in our society are safe and
happy and have every opportunity to fulfil their own dreams and aspirations; this can only happen if
we protect and promote their human rights.
The theme for Children’s Week 2015 is ‘Children’s Rights are Human Rights’ and it celebrates the 251h
anniversary since Australia signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. This
theme is so important because it reminds us that, like everyone, children have human rights and it is
critical that these rights are revered and respected.
I congratulate the Children's Week Council for their dedication and commitment and I wish children
and adults alike all the very best for a successful week.

Message from the Governor of Queensland for 2015
Queensland Children's Week
It is less than a century since the first international children's rights
treaty was adopted
- the League of Nations' Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1924.
Since then, the concept that children's rights are human rights has
expanded, culminating in the UN General Assembly's adoption of the
54 articles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.
Australia became a signatory the following year and the Convention has
now been adopted and ratified by all but two of the world's 192 nations.
However, children's rights remain under threat, even in prosperous and
peaceful nations such as ours where childhood is recognised as a time of
life when special care, assistance and protection are needed.
It is therefore particularly pleasing that Children's Week associations
throughout Australia have chosen to focus on Articles 29 and 31 of the1989 Convention as the theme in this 25th anniversary year. These two
articles emphasise the importance of giving children the leisure to fully
develop their personality and talents, and of teaching them respect for
their parents, their own culture, and the cultures of others.
Over the past 44 years, the members of the Queensland Children's Week
Association have given countless hours of voluntary effort to advance the
rights of the child and to bring the value and needs of children to public
attention. As Patron, I thank them and their sponsors and supporters for
this ongoing dedication, and congratulate them on the excellent
program of activities for Children's Week 2015.
His Excellency the Honourable Paul de Jersey AC
Governor of Queensland
Message from the State Ambassador for Queensland Children's Week 2015,
Steve Armitage
The Queensland Family and Child Commission strives to ensure children and young people are
safe, well and supported by capable families and communities.
Celebrating Children's Week is a timely reminder of our shared responsibility to provide a safe
and nurturing environment for children and young people so they can grow, develop and have the
opportunities to follow their dreams and life goals. It also reminds us of the importance of
listening to their needs.
Children's rights are human rights and this is the theme behind Children's Week 2015. I have a
life-long passion for social policy and I am proud to support this message.
Throughout my 30-plus years working across the human services field, I have witnessed major
reforms in child protection in Queensland. At the heart of these reforms lie the fundamental idea
that child’s rights are human rights.
As we celebrate 25 years since Australia signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of
the Child, it is important to take stock and look to the future to see what else can be done for
children in Queensland to give them the best possible start in life.
Having an open dialogue and educating families about quality child care and child rearing helps to
empower families and communities . This also means providing the right information and
support services at the right time to better equip families across Queensland
Children play an important role in society and we need to encourage them to speak up and
have their voices heard. Every Queenslander has a responsibility to ensure children and
young people can grow in safe and happy surroundings and collectively we need to
champion their rights.
Events like Children's Week help us to celebrate the wonder and joy of childhood, while increasing
community awareness about children's needs and how we can all respect their rights. I would like to
extend my thanks to the Queensland Children's Week Association for their hard work and dedication
to this cause.
It is an honour to be the State Ambassador for Queensland Children's Week and I look forward to
celebrating this important occasion with all of you.
Steve Armitage

A LIBRARY FOR THE END OF THE WORLD Imagine the world was ending.
Nothing dramatic, no big explosions or car chases, just the world, folding into
nothing. The human race survives but we can only take but one thing with them. A
single memory. A library for the end of the world is an ongoing project that attempts
to catalog the memories of every person on Earth using cassette tapes, building a
database that the audience can physically explore, listening to the recollections and
contributing their own.
Come and share a cuppa, a cup cake and a conversation: muse over memories,
talk tales and share stories with a complete stranger and see what unravels. A
Library for the End of the World is coming to town, so come and taste a teaser of
what's in store at our Conversation Set, no bookings necessary, just pull up a chair.

ART EXHIBITION, Our focus through Children’s Week is to promote
the rights of children. We organise a static display with images,
books and materials that supports the theme for the year. A copy of
the UNC for the Rights of Children is distributed to all families.
We ask each child “What is the best thing about being a ‘kid’? This
year we’ll also ask “Why is it important for adults to help kids?”
Responses are displayed around the Kindy room and children
illustrate their response.
We also host an Art and Photographic Auction – children have painted
self portraits and selected their favourite digital print to exhibit during
an art show. All families are invited to the night time event and
proceeds are donated to a local charity. We raffle framing vouchers
donated from a local business and money raised is used to purchase
new art resources for children.

ART EXHIBITION, Our focus through Children’s Week is to promote
the rights of children. We organise a static display with images, books
and materials that supports the theme for the year. A copy of the
UNC for the Rights of Children is distributed to all families.
We ask each child “What is the best thing about being a ‘kid’? This
year we’ll also ask “Why is it important for adults to help kids?”
Responses are displayed around the Kindy room and children
illustrate their response.
We also host an Art and Photographic Auction – children have painted
self portraits and selected their favourite digital print to exhibit during
an art show. All families are invited to the night time event and
proceeds are donated to a local charity. We raffle framing vouchers
donated from a local business and money raised is used to purchase
new art resources for children.

ACTIVITY: Ipswich Aussie Backyard Bird Count
TIME:
5.25AM
Celebrate National Bird Week 2015 by taking part in the biggest citizen science
project to hit Aussie shores! From 19-25 October, thousands of people from across
the country are heading out into their backyards, local parks, or favourite outdoor
spaces to take part in the second annual AUSSIE BACKYARD BIRD COUNT! To get
involved all you need is 20 minutes, your outdoor space of choice, and some keen
eyesight (or binoculars). It doesn’t matter if you’re a novice or an expert—we’ll be
there to help you out along the way.
Simply record the birds you know and look up those you don’t on our new Aussie
Bird Count app or our through our website (www.aussiebirdcount.org.au). You’ll
instantly see live statistics and information on how many people are taking part
near you and the number of birds and species counted across your neighbourhood
and the whole of Australia!
Not only will you get to know your feathered neighbours, but you’ll be contributing
to a vital pool of information from across the nation that will help us see how
Australian birds are faring.
Last year we counted 800,000 birds, this year let’s make it one million. Get your
friends and family together, head into the great outdoors and start counting! For
more information head to www.aussiebirdcount.org.au AM Cost:
