NAIDOC stands for ‘National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee’.

NAIDOC Week is a celebration of culture, history and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.

Each year a theme is selected, 2023 is the year FOR OUR ELDERS which is the focus for what they have achieved and overcome.
Across every generation, our Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families. 
They are cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, teachers, survivors, leaders, hard workers and our loved ones. 

Gladstone High School would like to acknowledge and celebrate our SAASTA Aboriginal Learners for their success in the 2023 Power Cup.
