Gawura School acknowledges the Gadigal Clan as the traditional custodians of the land on which we stand and one of the 29 clans of the Eora Nation which is boarded by the Hawkesbury River to the north, the Nepean River to the west, and the Georges River to the south. We would also like to pay our respects to the Elders past, present, and emerging.

What are Gawura First Nations Scholarships?

A Scholarship can offer a 13-year life-changing journey to a student and their family, empowering students to thrive through a culturally rich education in a nurturing environment.

With learning that affirms First Nations strengths and opens the door to exceptional facilities, experiences and opportunities, students grow strong in who they are and step confidently towards a hope-filled future.

Join with us in walking this path.

GAWURA SCHOOL HEADS TO UNIVERSITY!

While we create many opportunities and pathways for our students, this week we headed to University!

Our Gawura School Stage 3 students were invited to attend a special lunch at Nura Gili which is the Aboriginal Education Centre at UNSW at Kensington.

Aunty Sharon Minniecon and Mr Ralph attended Nura Gili in Term 2. The university then invited Gawura School to be part of an ongoing program where Aboriginal culture and history are celebrated on the UNSW Kensington Campus along with a number of other primary schools in the surrounding area.

We have connections with the Gadigal Centre at the University of Sydney and the Jumbunna Institute at UTS and also Western Sydney University.

So many opportunities and support for our students as we are bridging worlds, building futures.
