NAIDOC Week 2021

Heal Country

NAIDOC Week celebrates the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. NAIDOC Week is celebrated by all Australians and is a great opportunity to learn more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The 2021 National NAIDOC Week theme calls on all of us to continue the work of our ancestors in caring for and protecting the Country that sustains us.  

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held around the country each year. At Calliope State School, students and teachers will be participating in numerous NAIDOC Week activities to shed light on the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. These activities include learning about the importance of NAIDOC Week and Indigenous culture, listening to Dreamtime stories, completing Indigenous-inspired craft activities, researching the importance of the Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander flag, and looking at people of significance.

We look forward to a wonderful week together.
