My 14 year old daughter has been hounding me to let her get a casual job. While I originally said no, not yet, we are moving on the weekend to a town that has quiet a few casual opportunities available for the younger ones.
What do we put on a first resume, she’s never had a job!

Try Seek.com.au. It has lots of current info & resume templates. First casual job employers aren't looking for too much anyway.
Extracurricular activities, hobbies, any baby sitting, dog walking or lawn mowing/ gardening help etc... My son is 15 and got two jobs 3 months ago and we listed these types of things on his resume
Her current education, future ambitions, a few hobbies/interests and her skill set (good with people, honest, reliable, motivated).
Do it in dot point forms such as:
Header (including name and address, phone number).
Introduction (age and education, future ambition)
Hobbies
Skills
Then character references maybe a teacher or coach from sport
