Gawura School

👑🍩 *100 Days of Kindy!* 🍩👑

Last week our Gawura School Kindergarten students celebrated **100 days of learning** in the sweetest way possible!

The classroom was filled with creativity as the students decorated their own crowns, proudly marking this special milestone, before enjoying some well-earned doughnuts together.

While today was all about fun, it also celebrated 100 days of curiosity, friendship, confidence and growth. In just 100 days, our youngest learners have embraced new experiences, built strong foundations and made wonderful memories together.

Here's to celebrating how far they've come, and all the exciting adventures still to come!

Happy 100 Days, Gawura Kindy! 🎉

GAWURA SCHOOL HEADS TO UNIVERSITY!

While we create many opportunities and pathways for our students, this week we headed to University!

Our Gawura School Stage 3 students were invited to attend a special lunch at Nura Gili which is the Aboriginal Education Centre at UNSW at Kensington.

Aunty Sharon Minniecon and Mr Ralph attended Nura Gili in Term 2. The university then invited Gawura School to be part of an ongoing program where Aboriginal culture and history are celebrated on the UNSW Kensington Campus along with a number of other primary schools in the surrounding area.

We have connections with the Gadigal Centre at the University of Sydney and the Jumbunna Institute at UTS and also Western Sydney University.

So many opportunities and support for our students as we are bridging worlds, building futures.

There was plenty of competition on the track, but the best moments happened in between.

Friendship, laughter and cheering each other on, that's what the St Andrew's Cathedral School Athletics Carnival is all about.

What an experience!

Have you ever had a camp out on top of a roof, right in Sydney's CBD? "Camp fire" included!😂🌛🔥🏢⛺

How lucky are our Year 2 students and their Junior School friends.

Year 2 Camp has commenced and the fun has begun.

Gawura School's Year 2 students, along with their Junior School buddies, had participated within a variety of activities away from the school, culminating with a sleep over tonight.

The countdown is on! See you Wednesday!

Our classrooms are ready, the bus is full of petrol, our teachers are preparing and we can't wait to welcome our students back for another term of learning, laughter and connection.

Every new term brings fresh opportunities to grow in confidence, strengthen culture, build friendships and discover new possibilities.

Here's to another exciting term in your learning journey with Gawura School.

Look forward to seeing you on Wednesday.

We couldn't do it without you!

Today we proudly celebrate the beginning of NAIDOC Week and this year's theme, 50 Years of Deadly.

At our recent Gawura School NAIDOC celebration, our students honoured the trailblazers whose courage, leadership and determination have helped to shape a more just and equitable Australia. Their legacy continues to inspire the generations that follow.

As we celebrate 50 Years of Deadly, we also look to the future.

Every day at Gawura School, we invest in the next generation of First Nations young people - nurturing their potential, strengthening their connection to culture, and empowering them to become the leaders, changemakers and storytellers of tomorrow.

Here's to celebrating 50 years of deadly - and to the many more still to come.
