NAIDOC 2018: 8-15 July

NAIDOC Week 2018 follows the theme Because of Her We Can! 

It celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of this country.  In 2018 NAIDOC acknowledges, celebrates and honours the many women who have led their families, communities and workplaces in the achievement of respect, reconciliation and recognition for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

I had the privilege of attending the NAIDOC ball on Saturday evening with Liz Cameron and a table of wonderful Deakin colleagues from the Institute of Koorie Education to commence our recognition as a Faculty (see attached pic).

We are privileged to work with all our Aboriginal colleagues and I hope you will all take a moment to honor them too and join in some of the activities on campus and in the community.

Because of you we can!!
