NAIDOC Week Theme 3-10 July 2022


This year’s NAIDOC theme has been announced, Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! This theme is to highlight Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders’ continued fight for justice and rallying to gain equality in our communities.

Whether it’s seeking proper environmental, cultural and heritage protections, Constitutional change, a comprehensive process of truth-telling, working towards treaties, or calling out racism—we must do it together.

One of our new Values in the Department’s Code of Conduct is “Truth Telling”. It’s a very important value to have at our school, allowing our local Aboriginal community to have a voice and educate our wider community about our experiences and culture.

So this year I hope to increase our knowledge, recognition and create change at our school which will allow our Aboriginal students to continue to feel equal and accepted at BSHS.

If you have any ideas you’d like to add to our NAIDOC activities/calendar in Term 3, please contact me. Planning now is key and I would love to expand on our celebrations!
