NAIDOC Celebration  Day - Wednesday 23rd June

As NAIDOC week celebrations will be held during the school holidays, BPPS will be celebrating NAIDOC Week on Wednesday 23rd June. It will be a Social Service Day and students will be able to wear free dress in a theme that is yet to be decided.  

The charity that we will be raising money for and the 'NAIDOC Week Dress Day Theme' will be communicated to the community via an email after the JSC have met next week. 

Information about NAIDOC Week

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

NAIDOC originally stood for ‘National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee’. This committee was once responsible for organising national activities during NAIDOC Week and its acronym has since become the name of the week itself.
