NAIDOC Week

NAIDOC Week

NAIDOC Week celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC week 2025 starts on Sunday 6 July and is celebrated during the first week of the school holidays. The theme this year is The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy, celebrating not only the achievements of the past but the bright future ahead.

St Ursula’s students and their families are encouraged to participate in activities which celebrate First Nations cultures, histories and languages. There are festivities at every council, including Tallawoladah The Rocks, Barangaroo, Darling Harbour, Gunnamatta Bay Cronulla, Paul Keating Park Bankstown, Dharanggang Park Wolli Creek, just to name a few.

St Ursula’s started early with 95 students volunteering to contribute to painting a mural guided by Aboriginal artists in residence during week 10. We will also be celebrating during the first week of Term 3 with pass the Marngrook ball competition, painting personal disks and sampling indigenous jams.

 
Please remember to donate pancake mix
on the first day back so every student can enjoy
a free pancake with jams from native plants
(fingerlime, quandong or rosella flavour)!
