At Gawura Gathering - our main fundraising event in March, students from Gawura School, Junior School and Secondary School performed the most beautiful song to our community.
Flow from Buga Yanu Junba was sung in four different languages - Bunuba, Gooniyandi, Waimajarri and English.
We thank Mrs Kate Robertson Head of Music K-6 for her dedication and care in making this happen, and Calvin Newling (OA2024) for his arrangement and all the students involved.

Today John Fejo visited Gawura School and St Andrew's Cathedral Junior School. John is a proud Larrakia Nation man from the Northern Territory, and is currently working with the Goondoi Rangers in Innisfail, Queensland.
Pastor John Fejo is the founder of AI First Nations, an environmental technology business that uses drones and artificial intelligence to support land and environmental management.
Our students were fascinated to hear about his experiences and how he combines technology with his cultural, and ancient wisdom, to support land management and protect Country.
Quote of the day:
Pastor John: “I fly drones to look for sharks”
Kindy student Tate: gasp. “Ohhh those are dangerous” 🦈
Wise on both accounts.
Thank you, John for visiting our school and sharing with our leaders of tomorrow. ... See MoreSee Less
