This year’s theme – Get up! Stand up! Show up! – encourages all of us to champion institutional, structural, collaborative, and cooperative change while celebrating those who have already driven and led change in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities over generations.
Events will be held around Australia during NAIDOC week to celebrate the history, Culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
NAIDOC is celebrated by people from all walks of life, Indigenous and non‑Indigenous. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support and amplify the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Local Bundjalung student Stewart Kapeen sang a duet. Stewart Kapeen also leads our Aboriginal Boys Dance group. Both performances were spectacular with some new dances from the boys and girls, choreographed by local Bundjalung former student Mariah Roberts.
