NAIDOC WEEK: 8 - 15 November 2020

The National Aborigines and Islander Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) was formed in the 1920’s to increase the awareness of Australians in regards to the plight of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
NAIDOC week celebrates the achievements, history and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and last week our students had the opportunity to uphold this tradition and continue to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and cultures within their classrooms.
The theme for 2020 is ‘Always Was, Always Will Be’.
