A family fun day will be held at St Columban’s College in Caboolture as part of NAIDOC Week Celebrations.

The 2017 NAIDOC theme – Our Languages Matter – aims to emphasise and celebrate the unique and essential role that Indigenous languages play in both cultural identity, linking people to their land and water, and in the transmission of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, spirituality and rites, through story and song.

The event will feature a Welcome to Country, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander dancing, art and cultural workshops, traditional games, language and storytelling. AFL Queensland will also host a sports clinic and various community organisations and government departments will hold health promotional stalls.

A free sausage sizzle, jumping castle and animal farm will also be held at the event.

The event is proudly supported by the MNHHS Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Unit, Community, Indigenous and Subacute Services and St Columban’s College
