This week, Don College celebrates NAIDOC Week.

At our Term 2 taypani Limilinaturi, Year 12 student Chloe Padmore shared with the Don College community the meaning of NAIDOC Week.

NAIDOC Week is all about positive dialogue and celebrating the histories, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, with this year’s theme being “For Our Elders”.

On Friday, the Don College community held a fundraiser BBQ for Nayri Niara, raising $125 to donate to the enterprise. Nayri Niara is an Aboriginal-owned social enterprise located in Lutruwita/ Tasmania. They celebrate arts and culture through projects such as First Nations art exhibitions and youth mentoring programs. In the spirit of NAIDOC Week, this enterprise was student-selected as the recipient of the proceeds from our BBQ.

Thank you to student leaders, the Don College Support Staff and Loaves & Fishes for making this event happen.
