NAIDOC Celebrations

NAIDOC stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee. Its origins can be traced to the emergence of Aboriginal groups in the 1920′s which sought to increase awareness in the wider community of the status and treatment of Indigenous Australians. Source: naidoc.org.au

Today our school celebrated NAIDOC Week with a special assembly. It was wonderful to see our Elders and younger generation share stories with each other. A special Smoking Ceremony opened the festivities and the audience, alongside special guests Uncle Larry and Aunty Sue, were treated to some fabulous presentations from the students including a fantastic didgeridoo performance from PJ.
