In this special collaborative episode of Rainbow Skies for Teachers, we honour NAIDOC Week 2025 by exploring this year's theme: The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy. We are joined by five inspiring educators, each sharing their unique perspectives on how these pillars can be acknowledged and celebrated in the classroom.
Our guests delve into what strength, vision, and legacy mean to them, and how we can guide our students to embrace these values. Whether you're planning NAIDOC Week activities or seeking ways to embed First Nations perspectives year-round, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable strategies.
Key Terms in this year’s NAIDOC Week theme:
- Strength: Empowering students by sharing stories of resilience and encouraging them to draw strength from their own identities.
- Vision: Fostering a forward-thinking mindset that values inclusivity, innovation, and cultural understanding.
- Legacy: Recognising the importance of history and traditions, and the role educators play in passing these on to future generations.
Thank you to the educators that have generously shared their ideas and experiences today. If you wish to connect with them, find their information below.
Rainbows ahead,
Alisha and Ashleigh
