The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The theme of NAIDOC Week 2025 celebrates not only the achievements of the past but the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders, the vision of communities, and the legacy of ancestors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Curtin, this spirit of resilience and determination glows throughout our Centre for Aboriginal Studies (CAS). Established 50 years ago \u2013 and the first university school dedicated to Aboriginal tertiary education and research in Australia \u2013 CAS is well recognised by its logo, the curled Karda (goanna), representing the continuity of life. Dedicated to the memory of Nyungar elder and resistance leader Midgegoroo, the Centre\u2019s lobby is also a visual tribute that embodies the spirit of \u2018Strength, Vision & Legacy\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
