Curriculum
“We know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children thrive in environments where they have strong connection to culture and community.” Minister Ken Wyatt, August 2019.
Gawura School students learn the NSW curriculum intertwined with Indigenous cultures and languages.
Every year we take students from Years 5 to 12 on a three to five day excursion On Country, visiting a different Nation each year to allow students to walk On Country, learn about the culture of that Nation, the language and spend time with local Elders.
Gawura School works to the guidelines of the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards NSW, the key learning areas are:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Science
- History
- Geography
- Creative Arts
- Personal Development, Health and Physical Education.
Gawura School students attend a cultural excursion each semester, visiting a place of interest on Gadigal land or one of the surrounding areas to increase our knowledge about the people who lived in our local area.
