NAIDOC Week
NAIDOC Basketball Game
On Wednesday 4 August, the College celebrated NAIDOC Week with an assembly, a morning tea and what has become a traditional game of basketball at lunchtime.
In 2019, the inaugural NAIDOC ALL STARS basketball game was played at lunchtime in the ORC with players wearing Indigenous-inspired Canons uniforms designed by Lachauntae Eades. The game was so well received that we decided to do it all again this year to create two sets of uniforms that would then be used for the annual game.
2021’s uniform was a combination of designs by Year 11 students, Glenda Cornwall, Lachauntae Eades and Charlize Williams (pictured above). The symbols on the uniform represent kangaroos, emus, rivers and a storm.

Congratulations and thank you to the 20 students from the Canons Specialised Basketball program who were selected to participate in the exhibition game, which was played in great spirits.
