Today is National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day, an annual celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children growing up strong in Culture, Community and Country 🖤💛❤️
This year's theme, Living Our Truth, honours truth-telling and the passing of knowledge, stories and identity from one generation to the next.
It's a theme that speaks to the heart of the recently launched South Australian Aboriginal Early Childhood Strategy, shaped over two years in genuine partnership with the Aboriginal Co-design Governance Group, the South Australian Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation Network and Aboriginal Communities. The Strategy recognises that Aboriginal children, families, Elders and Communities are at the centre of shaping the best outcomes for future generations.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day is being celebrated in early learning services, schools and Communities across the Country through storytelling, Cultural learning, singing, dancing, Aboriginal languages, art and Community gatherings.
As we embrace and celebrate this day, it strengthens our commitment and resolve in prioritising and supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in all that we do.
