❤️💛🖤NAIDOC Week 2025

6th – 13th July | Theme: The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy

This week, our Gold Coast and Sussex Street Hubs have been proudly participating in NAIDOC Week through a special collaboration with Life Without Barriers: Footprints Challenge.

As part of the challenge, participants have been steadily ticking off tasks and deepening their understanding of the rich culture, history, and legacy of our First Nations People.

One of the highlights was taking part in a cultural activity, where participants created their own meaningful artworks during a dot painting session.

These pieces reflect not just creativity, but connection to Country, to community, and to the continuing story of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

What a beautiful morning!

Beautiful Morning for our Horticulture Team this morning! 🌿

Here is what our team had to say about it..........

'This makes working before the sun is awake worth it!
Our crew has been powering through the cold mornings to make a difference and give this school a huge makeover! We were all definitely stunned at the sunrise this morning.'
