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. 

Too often, meetings can be overwhelming and filled with information, leaving little opportunity for individual sharing.

At Ambrose Early Years and Education, a ritual of sharing 'glows' and 'grows' in meetings facilitates the sharing of successes and challenges, while fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and psychological safety.

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