Malvern sibling day – April 2025

Very Special Kids, 321 Glenferrie Road, Malvern

A fun and therapeutic program designed to help siblings connect with other young people supported by Very Special Kids.

About the event

During the April school holidays, we invite primary-school aged siblings of children registered with Very Special Kids to come and spend a day connecting and having fun.

 

The day will include a range of active, creative and therapeutic activities (and a tasty lunch!)

 

We understand things are always changing which can be a little bit scary, but also exciting! We will explore:

  • Who the siblings of Very Special Kids hope they’ll be in the future?
  • What about them do they think will change over time, and what will stay the same?
  • How have they changed and grown already?
  • What strategies can be used to adapt to change?

 

If your kids would like to explore these questions, have fun and connect with other Very Special Kids’ siblings then please RSVP here by Friday 4 April. If you have any queries, please contact Justine (jrice@vsk.org.au or 0417 151 096) or Andrew (amartell@vsk.org.au or 0417 543 514).
