SWSPHN will host a stall at the Tharawal 2023 NAIDOC Family Fun Day as part of NAIDOC Week celebrations on Thursday, 6 July, at Airds High School, Briar Road, Airds.
The free event, from 10am to 2pm, will feature amusement rides, entertainment and stalls, among other things, and will be an opportunity to celebrate this year’s NAIDOC Week theme, “For Our Elders”.
The value of Elders – as cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, teachers, survivors, leaders, hard workers and loved ones – is the motivation for celebrations, activities and events during NAIDOC Week 2023 from 2 to 9 July.
Each year NAIDOC Week celebrates and recognises the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The week-long celebration is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about and appreciate First Nations cultures and histories.
Other NAIDOC Week activities in South Western Sydney include: NAIDOC Fun Day, 1 July, 10am to 3pm, Bankstown City Gardens; NAIDOC Family Fun Day, 4 July, 11am to 3pm, Fairfield Showground; NAIDOC touch football, 5 July, 8am to 4pm, Benham Reserve, Minto.
