NAIDOC Celebrations 2023

The College gathered this week to celebrate NAIDOC Week. Our Aboriginal Education Worker, Tamika Gaudie led a team of students in presentations that shared and celebrated Indigenous Culture.

The theme of NAIDOC for 2023 is “For the Elders”. We were reminded of the contribution that our elders play in the holding our communities together, and the importance of recognising and respecting the contributions of many.

During the assembly The students shared Lumen Christi’s reconciliation action plan (RAP) statement with the College and the assembly viewed Kristy McBain’s speech in parliament when she tabled the Lumen document “From the Heart” in support of the aims of the Uluru statement.

A highlight of the assembly was our Year 1 students singing head, heart, knee and feet in Language.

NAIDOC celebrations continue through the term break, and students from Lumen will attend NAIDOC Mass in Moruya on 21 July.

Lumen Christi is proud to celebrate NAIDOC week and to share in the gifts of Indigenous cultures.

Be the light of Christ.
