     Celebrating NAIDOC Week in the Art Room

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.

At Epping Views, students created artwork to celebrate NAIDOC Week and honour their own cultures. Inspired by the 2024 NAIDOC Poster winner, "Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud," students learned that their heritage is like a blazing fire running through their veins, representing their passion and pride. 

The resulting artwork was truly amazing and a testament to their cultural appreciation and creativity.
