Photo order envelopes have been sent from MSP in Armidale and will be distributed as soon as they arrive.

National Naidoc Week 2020 celebrations will be held from the 8-15 November; Changed from the original July dates due to the impacts and uncertainty from the escalating Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic across our communities and cities.

The postponement was aimed at protecting our elders and those in our communities with chronic health issues from the disastrous impacts of COVID19.

We thank you for your understanding and working with us during these uncertain times.
