Last week, we celebrated NAIDOC Week at our childcare centres with traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander incursions, cultural resources, and learning experiences across the whole week. 

NAIDOC Week encourages the community to come together to learn about Indigenous culture, art, music, stories, rituals and traditions.

Celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), 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.

You can support and get to know your local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities through activities and events held across the country.

Have a look at the below photo galleries and videos to see how we celebrated this very important week:

Next year, NAIDOC Week will be celebrated from July 7th to 14th, 2024.
