What is NAIDOC Week?

This presentation helps teachers introduce the meaning, history and significance of NAIDOC Week in an engaging and respectful way. Aligned with Year 3 HASS (AC9HS3K02), it supports lessons on national celebrations, symbols, and identity by exploring how NAIDOC Week began and how it continues to honour the voices, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. With clear content, historical context, and discussion prompts, this resource gives teachers a simple and meaningful way to lead classroom learning that celebrates diversity and encourages reflection on inclusion, fairness and shared history.
