CHILDREN OF PERTH - ASSEMBLE!

Expression of Interest Form
Perth Festival is planning something very special for our 2027 Festival: an Assembly run by children. We’re looking for a group of children aged 9–12 with big ideas, lots of questions, and something to say about the world.

What do you think the future should look like?

Are we doing a good job of looking after the world for the children of tomorrow?

What would you change if you were in charge?

And are there things that children understand that adults don’t?

If these are the kinds of questions you like thinking and talking about, we want to hear from you. This EOI will be open until Friday 09 October 2026. Successful applicants will be notified in mid-October.

Check out more info on our website.

To apply, you must:
- be 9–12 years old
- live in Western Australia
- be able to attend the Children’s Assembly in Perth
- be available for the development and rehearsal dates below
- have permission from your parent or guardian to participate
Please note: Regional applicants are welcome, but must be able to travel to Perth for the required workshops and event.

If you can make most but not all of the workshops, that’s okay. Please still apply and let us know which date you can’t attend.
