We had a great time meeting up with clients at NAIDOC events held across the Moreton Bay and West Moreton Regions. It was an incredible week of celebration. Our community came together to honour and celebrate the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The team hosted a disability information stall at each event and had engaging craft activities for all, including painting and stencils.
It was heartwarming to see so many new faces and reconnect with familiar ones. The spirit of NAIDOC Week and the sense of community and unity was seen as we shared stories, laughter, and moments of reflection, strengthening the bonds within our community.
It’s a great reminder of the importance of staying connected and continuing the celebration of our shared history and culture throughout the year. Together, we can keep the fire burning – Blak, Loud and Proud.
Kindy kids and families celebrated NAIDOC Week at the Deadly Kindies Ball on Thursday, 25 July. We had a wonderful time connecting with the community and celebrating our jarjum at this fantastic event. It was a great opportunity to engage with families, share information about our services, and join in the festivities that honoured the achievements and growth of our youngest community members. We loved seeing everyone there and celebrating together! We look forward to next year’s event. Shout-out to our amazing Deadly Kindies team – thank you for including us in this deadly event!
