NAIDOC Week
Next Term, during Week 3, we will be celebrating NAIDOC Week! National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia 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.
As we enter 2025, NAIDOC Week marks a powerful milestone: 50 years of honoring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience. The 2025 theme, "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy," celebrates not only the achievements of the past but the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of our young leaders, the vision of our communities, and the legacy of our ancestors.
The NAIDOC journey began as a movement for recognition and rights, sparked by Indigenous communities who saw a future built on justice and equality. Over the decades, it has grown into a powerful national celebration, a testament to the enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
During NAIDOC Week we will be exploring Indigenous culture within the classrooms and participating in an incursion about Indigenous Story Telling, Music and Dance! We are looking forward to providing our students with these rich learning experiences.
We will also be having a fundraising Walk-a-thon for the Opening the Doors Foundation
