ABORIGINAL and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day, held annually, celebrates First Nations children as the future of their people, as bright, resilient and confident leaders.
Strong in Culture, Stronger Together, is this year’s Children’s Day theme and focuses on empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who are not only connected to their community but are proud of their culture, which is one of the most sacred, strong and important assets that they can have.
To commemorate this special day, Rumbalara Aboriginal Co-Operative will host an event on Thursday, August 1, 10.30am to 1.30pm, at the Playground/BBQ area at 20 Rumbalara Road, Mooroopna.
Rumbalara’s Children’s Day follows an extremely successful NAIDOC Week celebrations. Event organisers said it was the biggest turnout ever, and that there were heaps of community support.
Families are invited for a fun-filled day with games, cultural activities, storytelling and more. Go to Rumbalara Aboriginal Co-Operative’s Facebook for more info, or register for free at https://bit.ly/46asIov
