Curtin College celebrated NAIDOC Week

Curtin College was proud to hold enriching NAIDOC Celebrations on campus, marked by a series of meaningful and culturally significant events. The celebration provided a wonderful opportunity to honour the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

In Week 1, the college began its celebration with a welcoming ceremony featuring traditional Aboriginal dances, captivating performances, a sacred smoking ceremony, and an engaging art session. Students and staff also enjoyed a delicious lunch and tried some Aboriginal food.

Weeks 2 and 3 continued with powerful storytelling sessions, focusing on the Stolen Generations, healing, hope, knowledge, and empowerment. This was followed by a crafting session where participants created story-based artworks, fostering a deeper understanding and connection to shared narratives.

NAIDOC Week celebrates the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It highlights the importance of community, storytelling, and cultural heritage while promoting unity and respect.

Curtin College believes in the power of community and the importance of celebrating diverse backgrounds. The college stands with and honours the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members, recognising their contributions and resilience. By coming together during this NAIDOC Week, Curtin College deepens its appreciation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and heritage, always working towards strengthening these bonds within the college community.
