This week we were extremely proud to welcome Aunty Gail Mabo to our school.
Head of Gawura, John Ralph and our founders Pastor Ray and Aunty Sharon Minniecon shared with Aunty Gail Gawura's history, our achievements and toured the school. We also heard how Aunty Gail is supporting young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Brisbane.
Aunty Gail popped into one of our Wiradjuri lessons with Aunty Leanna and saw both students from Gawura and St Andrew's Cathedral Junior School actively learning.

Great picture 💕
Today is "Close the Gap" Day.
This is a day to focus on what we are all doing to bridge the gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and non-Indigenous Australian in the areas of health, education and living conditions, while respecting self-determination.
This is why Gawura was created.
With the cultural authentic educational environment that Gawura provides, we aim to Close the Gap for our students and their communities.
Access to education provides access to better health options, housing, autonomy and the increased possibility of intergenerational wealth creation.
Education not only raises the individual, but the family and the community and the Australian community as a whole.
History shows that education is the way that people can break the cycle of poverty, social disadvantage and exclusion.
So today we acknowledge that Gawura is one piece in this complex puzzle but we are invested in making a multigenerational change for our past, current and future students.
Today we acknowledge the families in our community - thank you for your faith and trust in what we do.
We acknowledge all of our supporters - we cannot be doing this without you.
Thank you to our teachers and leaders - you are the change makers of today and tomorrow.
