NAIDOC WEEK

The school recently observed National NAIDOC Week (2-9 July). NAIDOC stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) and this year’s theme, “For Our Elders”. NAIDOC Week celebrates and recognises the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. To mark NAIDOC Week the library created a book display featuring information on the Kulin Nation and extending to broader First Nations themes and authors.
