NAIDOC Week

NAIDOC Week 2018

This year's NAIDOC Week, which ran from 8-15 July, celebrated the invaluable contributions that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have made - and continue to make - to our communities, our families, our rich history and to our nation.

St Norbert College celebrated NAIDOC Week with a College Assembly that featured a flag raising ceremony, the lighting of the College candle by Magdeburg House Captains, a prayer recited by our Torres Strait Islander student Kadijah Brown, and the Welcome to Country read by our Aboriginal students Izayah Riley and Laniesha Paddon.

In celebrating the theme 'Because of Her, We Can', we had two special guests from our Aboriginal community who presented at our Assembly, Miss Teen Galaxy Australia Jenayah Elliott, and Ms Lilly Gogos, an accomplished musician; both of whom are proud Aboriginal women.
