Over the last week, our team has had an incredible time attending events across South Australia, Victoria and Queensland. We participated in meaningful discussions, cultural activities, and community gatherings that celebrated the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
At SYC, we're committed to honouring and empowering First Nations voices. This year's theme, 'Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud' celebrates the strength, resilience and vibrant culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It honours the enduring vitality of First Nations culture and invites all Australians to stand in solidarity.
Thank you to everyone who shared their stories and traditions with us. The week was filled with moments of reflection and joy. We continue to learn, respect, and celebrate the voices of First Nations peoples as we pursue our vision of wellbeing, independence and opportunity for all Australians.
The team wore matching shirts designed by Luke Mallie, inspired by his heritage from Kuku Yalanji and Kubin Village country, celebrating NAIDOC 2024 with the theme "Fire Spirit People". These shirts embody ancient storytelling through dance, honouring the land's sacredness and the enduring pride of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
NAIDOC Week is not just about celebration but also about reflection and respect. We honour the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and commit to fostering a more inclusive and understanding society.
We also would like to thank and acknowledge our staff who continue to represent their Countries, mobs and ancestors.
