Last Tuesday a number of our staff had the opportunity to once again volunteer at our region’s 12th annual NAIDOC Cup event, held at Hunters Field in Emu Plains.
This wonderful event is a free, combined school event for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander primary school students and is held to allow younger children to come together to celebrate and learn about their culture, people and achievements.
It was fantastic to see flourishing numbers return after COVID-19 delayed the event in 2020 and restricted numbers in 2021. Local schools and approx. 1,300 children attended to participate in sports such as Oztag and Netball, and various other activities.
The younger kids had the opportunity to participate in Aboriginal cultural events like Indigenous games, fire starting workshops, storytelling, song, dance and art activities.
Thank you to Nepean Community & Neighbourhood Services for running the day, and all the volunteers from various organisations who come together to make this such an amazing community event.
