NAIDOC WEEK
NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islanders Day of Celebration) week activities are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Indigenous Australians. This year, the theme is "50th Anniversary of the Yirrkala Bark Petitions". The petitions protested the Commonwealth granting mining rights on Yolngu people's traditional land.
Scotch College will celebrate NAIDOC from July 29 -August 2, the second week of Winter Term. Some of the events for this week include a Collaborative Sand Art Mural in the Middle and Junior Schools, Traditional Tool Making and Kimberley and Noongar bush tucker tasting. The week will end with an Assembly featuring a traditional smoking ceremony and a guest speaker. Parents, friends and past students are welcome to attend.
