Next week is NAIDOC Week and the 2023 Theme is "For Our Elders".

Across every generation, our Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families. They are cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, teachers, survivors, leaders, hard workers and our loved ones.

We acknowledge our loved ones who pick us up in our low moments and celebrate us in our high ones. Who cook us a feed to comfort us and pull us into line, when we need them to. They guide our generations and pave the way for us to take the paths we can take today. Guidance, not only through generations of advocacy and activism, but in everyday life and how to place ourselves in the world.

As part of this week students from Year 5-6 will be attending a special flag raising ceremony at TIAGARRA Museum on Monday 3 July. Hellen Gower, our Indigenous Education Worker has been visiting classes with a colouring competition.
