This week, schools across New South Wales are celebrating the very first NSW Aboriginal Languages Week. The theme is "Languages Alive, Culture Thrives," and recognises the important role of Aboriginal community organisations and groups in preserving indigenous languages.
You can take part in virtual events like language lessons in Wiradjuri, Dunghutti, and Gumbaynggirr and enjoy a Yinabildanhi fishing story in Gamilaraay. Younger kids can also learn Aboriginal languages with Ninganah No More.
This week is also notable because it marks the Aboriginal Languages Act 2017 becoming a law. It's a great opportunity to connect with and honour local Aboriginal community groups and organisations dedicated to revitalising their languages.
To learn more about local community events, contact your local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group committee and visit Aboriginal Language Trust.

Our Campbellfield community would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Dharawal people, who are the traditional and ongoing custodians of the land that our school is built on. We take pride in celebrating our past, present and emerging Elders, as they are the keepers of cultural knowledge. We thank you for sharing and caring for the land that we learn and play on. We believe every face has a place in our school and we value belonging within our community. ~Written by the Junior NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group of Campbellfield Public School in partnership with the Fields AECG President
