NAIDOC Week

The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy

NAIDOC Week

6 to 13 July 2025

The NAIDOC journey began as a movement for recognition and rights, sparked by Indigenous communities who saw a future built on justice and equality. Over the decades, it has grown into a powerful national celebration, a testament to the enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year is the 50-year legacy of NAIDOC. NAIDOC celebrations consist of range of traditional and contemporary activities. There are many gatherings of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people coming together to celebrate and share with non-Aboriginal people the strengths of its First Nations People. This important event helps build positive relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, enabling a deeper understanding of our differences and similarities. NAIDOC week is an opportunity for all Australians to eliminate bias and discrimination by reflecting and reconciling the wrongs of the past to facilitate hope and build a fairer future.

We encourage our State High community to get involved in the upcoming NAIDOC Week community events.   Artie is also holding NAIDOC community event on Friday 11 July at Musgrave Park. 

Students and families can also follow Artie via their social media pages, namely instagram: @ARTIEACADEMY and TikTok @ARTIEACADEMY, for more updates.
