NAIDOC WEEK 2022

NAIDOC Week 2022 will be held from Sunday 3 July to Sunday 10 July.  BALLINA COAST HIGH SCHOOL will celebrate 25-29 July.

This year's theme – Get up! Stand up!

The NCC (2022) stated how this year’s NAIDOC Week theme can be translated into action:

“Whether it’s seeking proper environmental, cultural and heritage protections, Constitutional change, a comprehensive process of truth-telling, working towards treaties, or calling out racism—we must do it together…

It’s also time to celebrate the many who have driven and led change in our communities over generations—they have been the heroes and champions of change, of equal rights and even basic human rights.”

The theme is about the desire to change the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non‑Indigenous Australians to one that is “based on justice, equity, and the proper recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights.”
