Our ‘school within a school’, Gawura, is a highly regarded model, a unique, coeducational Kindergarten to Year 6, day school, for First Nations children who live at home with their families. We are proud to have been named 2020 Australian School of the Year.
Gawura acknowledges Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, water and communities. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present and emerging. It is our privilege to work and learn on Gadigal Land.
Last week, Year 6 Gawura travelled to Canberra for the "rite of passage year 6 trip".
The students were challenged at Questacon, the Institute of Sport and visited Parliament House - the new and the old. Despite being immersed in learning opportunities, the highlight of any school trip is of course the buffet breakfast 😉
It looks like Mr Murray - and the excitement of Canberra - truly tired a few of the students out. 😍 ... See MoreSee Less
