Australia Day 

The Shire of Narrogin hosts a two-day Australia Day celebration, a highlight of our community calendar. The festivities begin with a Family Fun Day, designed to bring local families together for an enjoyable day of activities and entertainment. The celebration continues the next day with a community breakfast, followed by the Citizenship Ceremony and the Citizen of the Year Awards presentation.

This event is one of the most cherished in our community, celebrating our diverse local culture and honouring the achievements of exceptional individuals. It’s a time for everyone to come together and enjoy the festivities that make Australia Day truly special.

Citizenship Ceremonies

Citizenship ceremonies are special events where applicants for citizenship are required to make the Australian Citizenship Pledge. This is the final step in the journey to become an Australian citizen.

The citizenship ceremony is also an important opportunity to officially welcome new citizens as full members of the Australian community. These ceremonies are sometimes performed at community events held on Australia Day.   

WE ARE ALL PART OF THE STORY.
