Joondalup celebrates 50 years of NAIDOC Week
The City of Joondalup is celebrating 50 years of NAIDOC Week with a jam-packed school holiday program designed to honour the strength, spirit and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This year's theme is 'The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy' and the events will showcase emerging leaders and hope to inspire young minds across the community. Events will be held from Monday, July 7, to Friday, July 19. The celebrations will feature a range of cultural experiences, including Noongar language classes, an immersive children's theatre performance, cultural art sessions, and guided cultural walks to connect participants with country. The children's theatre play Kaarla Kaatijin is a production from the award-winning Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company that tells a Dreaming story about fire. The children's theatre play Kaarla Kaatijin will be held at Prendiville Catholic College in Ocean Reef.

Joondalup mayor Albert Jacob said the city was proud to promote learning and inclusiveness through recognising the history and heritage of the world's oldest continuous culture. 'NAIDOC Week is a time to reflect and recognise the enduring contributions of Aboriginal people to our region, our country and our community,' Mr Jacob said. 'The area surrounding Lake Joondalup holds great significance for the Whadjuk Noongar people, and we are honoured to help share that story through an inclusive and vibrant calendar of events.' Several events, including the Lake Walk, Earring Weaving, Bush Animal Weaving, and Coastal Walk, have already sold out, while spots remain available for the Galup VR Experience and Noongar Language Classes in Connolly and Warwick.

Central Park to host NAIDOC art exhibition
The lobby at Perth's Central Park will transform into a cultural space this NAIDOC Week for a second year when Wangening Bardip (Healing Stories) hits St Georges Terrace. The free event focuses on this year's NAIDOC week theme to empower 'strength, vision and legacy in the next generation', with the Waalitj Foundation's Deadly Sista Girlz set to steal the show. Their artworks will be featured alongside established First Nations artists including Carol Martin, Jacinta Anderson, Sara Riches and former Deadly Sista Girlz program participant Erika Fernandez. More than 30 artworks were submitted from the Deadly Sista Girlz program, with 12 selected to feature in this year's exhibition. Since its inception in 2007, The Deadly Sista Girlz program has helped more than 6000 young First Nations women by nurturing leadership, resilience and community connection with a focus on vital topics such as women's health, drug and alcohol awareness, road safety, financial literacy and healthy relationship. Fernandez said the work from the Deadly Sista Girlz program brought a meaningful new dimension. 'It means a lot to see the next generation of young Aboriginal women given this kind of platform right in the centre of the city, where their stories can be seen and heard,' she said. 'It's not just about the art — it's about showing these girls that their voices belong in spaces like this.' HIF Representative Hannah Swainston, Erika Fernandez, Jaime Silva and Imogen Buckley. Credit: Supplied All artwork is on sale, with 100 per cent of the proceeds going directly to the artists. More than 20 artworks at last year's exhibition were sold, generating more than $70,000 for the First Nations artists, and organisers hope this year's event will build on that success. Waalijt Foundation business coach Jaime Silva said the exhibition was a continuation of its commitment to healing through art. 'It showcases resilience, cultural pride, and the transformative power of creativity,' he said. Visitors will be invited to vote for their favourite Deadly Sista Girlz artwork through a QR code, with the winner to be announced after the exhibition. The event will run from July 4 to 11.
