NAIDOC WEEK – HEAL COUNTRY

St Stephen’s School Duncraig and Carramar students concluded NAIDOC week celebrations with a special assembly last week. Aboriginal Elder Maitland Hill performed a wonderful Welcome to Country and spoke to the theme of NAIDOC Week 2021, Heal Country.
Heal Country calls for stronger measures to recognise, protect, and maintain all aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage. It calls for all of us to continue to seek greater protections for our lands, our waters, our sacred sites, and our cultural heritage from exploitation, desecration, and destruction.
