NAIDOC Week

National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. You can support and get to know your local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities through activities and events held across the country. 

On Thursday our students participated in workshops led by Emmy Webbers a local indigenous artist. I will share some of the photos taken in these workshops in the newsletter next week. Thanks so much to Lisa Norris who worked with Emmy to make these learning experience possible for our students.
