CQUniversity and National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) are
organising the NAIDOC Week Celebration at the main campus of the university. This celebration
is for the local community of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and to understand their culture
and protocols. This is also to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of the indigenous
communities of the Australia. With this celebration, the participants can find a lot of opportunities
and can participate in many activities to support the indigenous communities. There were
several activities such as hosting national flag, NAIDOC poster, quiz competition, art
competition, and discussions and so on. The theme of the week celebration is ‘Because of her,
we can’ and it directly specifies that contribution of women towards the society and nation is
tremendous and it should be celebrated and appreciated enthusiastically. All these activities
should be organised and managed in a better way and therefore School of Engineering and
Technology (SET) committee has proposed the project for the students to manage the NAIDOC
week. This project will help the students and staff members to actively participate in activities
and competitions. This will also help them to engage and to create collaborative relationships
with the local people of the Aboriginal communities.
