NAIDOC Week 2024 will be celebrated between 7-14 July 2024 with a theme of "Keep the fire burning! Blak, loud and proud."

Proud Gangalidda woman and cultural educator Hayley Goodrick unpacks this year's NAIDOC Week theme and offers ideas for how you can create learning experiences to keep the fire burning in your service.

Find out how this ritual supports inquiry and collaborative leadership in this reflection written by Senior Manager of Early Years Education Jo Tapley.
