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.
Our Impact
A day in the life of a Gawura Student
Every day starts with belonging.

From Kindergarten to Year 12, culture is woven through learning, building pride, resilience and connection. Along the way, students access exceptional opportunities and experiences that help shape a hopeful future.
A Gawura First Nations Scholarship is more than an education. It’s a life-changing journey for students, families and communities.

Today we proudly celebrate the beginning of NAIDOC Week and this year's theme, 50 Years of Deadly.
At our recent Gawura School NAIDOC celebration, our students honoured the trailblazers whose courage, leadership and determination have helped to shape a more just and equitable Australia. Their legacy continues to inspire the generations that follow.
As we celebrate 50 Years of Deadly, we also look to the future.
Every day at Gawura School, we invest in the next generation of First Nations young people - nurturing their potential, strengthening their connection to culture, and empowering them to become the leaders, changemakers and storytellers of tomorrow.
Here's to celebrating 50 years of deadly - and to the many more still to come.
