Orange's Glenroi Heights Public School celebrate NAIDOC 2020

While festivities needed to be scaled back slightly compared to other years, every day of NAIDOC Week will still see children and teachers marking the event with the fanfare it deserved.

On Monday, students took to the school oval with signs they had made bearing the theme for NAIDOC 2020 - Always Was, Always Will Be. The powerful words were also painted onto the grass with vibrant colours.

"Each class made up their own NAIDOC poster and they walked proud holding that," the school's NAIDOC coordinator Kylie Greatbatch said.

While the school's 200-plus students normally join with other primary schools to celebrate NAIDOC, the set-back of 2020 meant festivities were self-contained - with the exception of student leaders from Canobolas Rural Technology High School who came across to join the younger children.

Mrs Greatbatch said the remainder of NAIDOC will be similarly marked with fun activities for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children engage with the week of celebration and remembrance.

Some of these will include cultural tucker with Gerald Power, sporting challenges, traditional dances and art workshops.
