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.

On Wednesday 19th August during National Science Week, Gawura Stage 3 students were invited to attend the Choice Magazine Offices in Marrickville to conduct a variety of fair tests to see how various appliances worked. In testing a certain brand of dishwasher, students spread pesto, vegemite and tomato paste across plates. These plates were then put into the dishwasher to see how well they were cleaned.
Students then looked at the brightness levels of various tv's and finally students then made their own pizzas conducting a fair test on yeast. We then cooked the pizzas and had them for lunch!
We would like to thank Aboriginal Elder Uncle Gene Ross who is also a Board Member at Choice for providing this unique opportunity to our First Nations students during National Science Week.

Our Year 9 girls arrived home on Friday from an unforgettable Snow Camp, filled with adventure, new experiences and plenty of fun on the slopes! Beyond developing their skiing skills, the camp was a wonderful opportunity for our students to build confidence, strengthen friendships and challenge themselves outside the classroom. We loved hearing about their adventures and seeing them return with plenty of stories to share — and some very tired legs!
