NAIDOC and Harmony Day
Parramatta: A Dictionary of Place and Memory - N
The school calendar is filled with milestone events.
Harmony Day falls late in March but I’m not sure I love people’s entire cultures being reduced to wearing an accessory in orange. The push this year makes me think they’re terrified of students embracing their culture and of the number of keffiyehs that may be worn by the student body.
NAIDOC Week is usually organised around the last week of Term 2 or else the first week of Term 3.
Out of the various schools I’ve been at, the best week belongs to the Tamworth years.
