Celebrating NAIDOC Week
NAIDOC week is celebrated annually throughout our operations to honour the history, knowledge, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Since 2019, Pindari has been a proud major sponsor of the South West Indigenous NAIDOC Basketball & Careers Expo Event.
The Expo is held in collaboration with South Regional TAFE, Bunbury Jobs & Skills Centre, the Stephen Michael Foundation, Waalitj Kaaditjin, and Busselton Senior High School to encourage students to attend school, teach them skills for getting a job, and provide informal career networking opportunities. An inter-school basketball carnival is featured at the careers expo, where the winning school receives a Basketball Shield as recognition. In 2024 over 200 Year 7 to 10 students attended the event. Margaret River Senior High School won the trophy.
Internally, we create bespoke NAIDOC Week booklets and a week of fun, educational activities for our staff across the Pilbara, Perth and the South West to share.
