NAIDOC Week 2022 will be held from Sunday 3 July to Sunday 10 July 2022.

During the week, we will perform our schools show, Bilya Kaatijin by Zac James, at multiple venues and hold our annual play reading event, Yirra Yaarnz.

Bilya Kaatijin (“Fresh Water Knowledge” in Noongar)

Connecting stories from Noongar land (south-west Western Australia) to Wonguktha land (the northern Goldfields), Aotearoa (New Zealand) and the Kikuyu people of Kenya, Bilya Kaatijin by Zac James teaches us about the importance of water to First Nations people around the world.
