NAIDOC Week

This week as a school we have celebrated NAIDOC week. This years theme is Voice, Treaty, Truth. The Indigenous voice of this country is over 65,000 plus years old. They were the first words spoken on this continent, languages that passed down law, culture and knowledge for over millennia. They are precious to our nation. With 2019 being celebrated as the United Nations International Year of Indigenous Languages, it’s time for Indigenous languages to be heard through our voice. 

As part of our celebrations, we started on Monday with a visit from Philip Green. Philip is a well travelled presenter, photographer and researcher who shared with our students methods of Aboriginal survival technology. The students were engaged in his stories, knowledge and passion for Aboriginal culture, traditions and customs.

Tomorrow, we have a small group of students attending the Archdiocese NAIDOC Mass at St Christopher's Cathedral with Miss Rheinberger. As a school we will also be holding a liturgy in the Church at 1pm, all are welcome to attend.
