This week we are celebrating NAIDOC Week.

NAIDOC stands for National Aborigine and Islander Day Observance Committee.

In NAIDOC week all Australians celebrate the spirituality, identity, culture, survival and achievements of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

St Mary’s students have been celebrating NAIDOC week through prayer and a range of learning activities (with the help of our Aboriginal students – Hayley and Kaitlin Francis, Lucas and Connor Plumb, Jaydan and Jesse Costello, and Harry Day).

Hayley Francis provided some interesting and informative background about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. Jaydan entertained us with some didgeridoo playing.
