NAIDOC Week 2024
The aim of the NAIDOC School Initiatives (colouring competition and poem writing competition below) is to raise understanding and awareness on the importance and respect of NAIDOC Week, Indigenous Culture and Reconciliation. The initiatives are open to all primary school students (both Indigenous & non-Indigenous). The winning students will be awarded some fantastic prizes (see attached entry form for details).
The judging of entries will be adjudicated by a panel including delegates from Koori Kids, community Elders and some council delegates.
Please send completed entries to the WPS Wellbeing Team, so they can be collated and sent away by Thursday 20th JUNE.
As this initiative is supported by your local council and we would encourage all students at your school to submit their creative entries. Some entries will be displayed during NAIDOC Week in some council chambers, libraries and a selection of winning entries will be displayed at Parliament House.

Welcome to Country.pdfRespected Elder Aunty Joy Murphy welcomes us to Country with a Wurundjeri Wominjeka (welcome) and beautifully, yet simply, explains the concept of welcoming ceremonies and their significance to First Nation communities across Australia.
Warm and vibrant illustrations by First Nations artist Lisa Kennedy, a descendant of the Trawlwoolway People, make this a visually stunning story.
Somebody's Land.pdfSomebody's Land is an invitation to connect with First Nations culture, to acknowledge the hurt of the past, and to join together as one community with a precious shared history as old as time.
Adam Goodes and Ellie Laing's powerful words and David Hardy's pictures, full of life, invite children and their families to imagine themselves into Australia's past - to feel the richness of our First Nations' history, to acknowledge that our country was never terra nullius, and to understand what 'welcome to our country' really means.
WRITE OR DRAW about your Dreamtime story. How do you picture your story? You could use some indigenous symbols to draw your story.
