About the event
Guide Dogs Victoria is excited to announce a brand-new Kids School Holiday Program, launching this spring, aimed at primary school-aged children (8–12 years old). The program combines fun, education, and hands-on experiences with guide dogs to inspire kindness, empathy, and responsible pet ownership.
This experience will give children the chance to:
- Meet and interact with Guide Dog puppies
- Learn responsible pet care through age-appropriate workshops
- Engage in fun games and activities using blindfolds and vision simulators
- Watch a guide dog demonstration from a real handler
- Create dog toys and crafts to take home
The program will run as a full-day (9:00 AM–3:30 PM) at a cost of $130 inc. Children are required to bring their own lunch and snacks for the duration of the day, Guide Dogs will not be providing any food on the day
There are two dates available;
- Tuesday the 7th of April, or
- Thursday the 9th of April
Places are limited — don’t miss out on this Paw-some experience!
Thank you for being part of our Guide Dogs Victoria family – we can’t wait to welcome your little ones.
This is a child-safe event and all Guide Dogs Victoria staff and volunteers are trained in child safety requirements, and have relevant probity checks.
