SENIOR SCHOOL NAIDOC Week The theme for NAIDOC Week 2015 was “We all stand on Sacred Ground: Learn, Respect & Celebrate”. As the oldest continuing culture on the planet, the living culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is intrinsically linked with these sacred places. Sacred places can be geographic features like a river or lake, a beach, bays, inlets, hills, mountain ranges or ceremonial grounds, galleries of rock art or engravings, or places used for gathering for cultural practices.
