Teacher resources for NAIDOC Week
June 6, 2025 / By SBS Learn
SBS proudly supports National NAIDOC Week across the network with a huge programming line-up, along with extensive multiplatform and multilingual coverage, and educational resources celebrating the history, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Each July, stories and moments bring Australians together, and explore the year’s National NAIDOC Week theme.
In 2025, the theme is The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy.
This year SBS Learn published it’s seventh NAIDOC Week curriculum-aligned teacher resource. This popular guide features NAIDOC-themed activities, discussions and clips to enable teachers to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into primary and secondary classrooms, year-round. The resource is authored by proud Yankunytjatjara, Kokatha and Wirangu woman Shelley Ware, marking Shelley’s seventh SBS Learn NAIDOC Week resource.
