Celebrating strong culture, strong kids!

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.

FOR THE KIDS… Following an extremely successful week of NAIDOC celebrations, Rumbalara Aboriginal Co-Operative will host an event for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day, catering to families and children aged 0-5.
