NAIDOC Week assembly

NAIDOC week will officially begin this Sunday 8 July.

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity to celebrate the rich history, beliefs and achievements of the oldest continuous culture on Earth, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

On Wednesday, we had our own NAIDOC Week assembly, celebrating the importance of women. The theme this year was 鈥淏ecause Of Her, We Can鈥.

We were privileged to have three of our proud Aboriginal students acknowledge country in their language. Thank you to Declan Triffitt Haney, Isabella Triffit Haney and Jolie Everett. A special thank you also to Angela Triffit Haney, mother of Declan and Isabella, who gave a moving and deeply personal speech.

Many of our Aboriginal students were involved in helping in our celebration.

I wish to thank them for their participation and commitment to making this a special event.

Also congratulations to Sally Quinn (right) who sang a beautiful and moving rendition of 鈥淯nder Southern Skies鈥 in front of the entire assembly!
