Held across the country from 7-14 July 2024, NAIDOC Week will celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year’s theme chosen by the National NAIDOC Committee, is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud.

The theme honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture – with fire a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The community are invited to celebrate with us at two events held during the school holidays. Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company join us on Friday 12 July for a theatre performance called Yaakin Boodjar Kaatijin. On Thursday 11 July we welcome Yamatji Noongar artist Noelene Regan to the Vincent Community Centre for a Makuru Message Stick Workshop. Learn more about these events below.
