Enjoy a range of activities this NAIDOC Week to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 

Join us in welcoming Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company as they bring the delightful and interactive performance of Lingo Lah Lah.

Lingo Lah Lah, is a fun, interactive and joyful romp through our multilingual landscape, with a focus on Nyoongar language. Suitable for young people in years 1 and up, this show will take its audiences on an epic journey that celebrates friendship, empathy and the cultural diversity among us.

Artist Geri Hayden will lead a fun craft workshop where participants will get to transform an ordinary stick into a fabulous stick doll using clever craft techniques, wool and fabric. 

Get creative by crafting your very own friendship band, or engage in fun and educational entertainment with our Nyoongar language Marine Animals matching game.
