While we teach Christian values and the historical foundations of the Christian faith, we respectfully acknowledge and teach traditional Aboriginal customs and lore and foster an appreciation of both. The School fosters the same warm invitational approach to learning about Christianity as St Andrew&#8217;s Cathedral School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also teach &#8216;Yindyamarra&#8217; \u2013 the Wiradjuri way of knowing based on five principles: give respect, be gentle, be polite, to honour, to do slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chapel and Christian Development<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Chapel is a weekly event attended by all students. It provides a communal expression of the School\u2019s Christian basis and commitment and goes hand-in-hand with the Christian Development lessons, which introduce students to the Christian faith as it is revealed in The Bible, and provides them with the opportunity to engage in healthy discussion on both its theory and practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-font-azo has-medium-font-size\"><strong>You may also be interested in<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-blue-color has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sacs.nsw.edu.au\/gawura\/beyond-the-classroom\/student-leadership\/\">Student leadership<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Gawura School we respectfully acknowledge traditional Aboriginal customs and lore.
