NAIDOC Week will be observed and celebrated across Australia this year from Sunday 8 July to Sunday 15 July. Flinders Public School will be holding a very special NAIDOC Assembly at the beginning of Term 3 to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
One of the ways we are promoting awareness of NAIDOC Week is by holding a school wide competition in conjunction with Koori Kids. There will be two categories; a colouring competition for Years K-2 and a poetry competition for Years 3-6. The entries, which classroom teachers will be distributing over the next week, are to be completed at home and submitted to school by Friday Week 9 at which stage we will send them to Koori Kids.
As well as the opportunity to win some great prizes through Koori Kids, Flinders Public School will be awarding prizes and gift vouchers to four winning school entries – one from Kindergarten, one from Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2), one from Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4) and one from Stage 3 (Years 5 and 6). The winners will be announced at our school NAIDOC Assembly.
We look forward to seeing and reading all of the creative entries!
