The Gawura Scholarship Fund acknowledges the Gadigal Clan as the traditional custodians of the land on which we stand and one of the 29 clans of the Eora Nation which is boarded by the Hawkesbury River to the north, the Nepean River to the west, and the Georges River to the south. We would also like to pay our respects to the Elders past, present, and emerging.
What are Gawura First Nations Scholarships?
A Scholarship can offer a 13-year life-changing journey to a student and their family, empowering students to thrive through a culturally rich education in a nurturing environment.
With learning that affirms First Nations strengths and opens the door to exceptional facilities, experiences and opportunities, students grow strong in who they are and step confidently towards a hope-filled future.
Join with us in walking this path.
Our Impact
A day in the life of a Gawura student
Every day starts with belonging.
At Gawura School, students grow strong in culture, confident in who they are, and excited for what’s ahead. In small classes, every child is known, supported and celebrated.
From Kindergarten to Year 12, culture is woven through learning, building pride, resilience and connection. Along the way, students access exceptional opportunities and experiences that help shape a hopeful future.
A Gawura First Nations Scholarship is more than an education. It’s a life-changing journey for students, families and communities.
Known. Connected. Empowered.

Stay connected and be inspired
Our school life and community are rich in storytelling. Our events and news showcase the moments, milestones and voices that shape our students’ learning journey.
From classroom highlights and cultural celebrations to community gatherings, fundraising events and On Country experiences, this is where you can see impact in action.
This Christmas, invest in education, opportunity and the futures of First Nations students.
Here at Gawura School and St Andrew's Cathedral School we rely directly on the generosity of donors to deliver our life-changing model of education, empowering the next generation of First Nations students to thrive and reach their full potential.
Every student receives a full scholarship, providing access to quality education, cultural connection and the specialist support they need to thrive.
With limited government funding, philanthropy is essential to sustaining these opportunities.
As we celebrate our Year 12 graduates and prepare to welcome six new students in 2027 to begin their 13-year educational journey, we need your help to ensure this life-changing education continues.
This Christmas, your donation isn't simply a gift - it's an investment in a future.
❤️ Donate today. Help us change lives for generations to come.

A shout out to our local Woolies. 😃
A special thank you to Woolworths Town Hall Store Manager Mr Matthew Welsh who is kindly continuing to support our Gawura School students with fruit and vegetables for Crunch’n’Sip throughout Term 4.
This helps our students immensely not just with their own physical nutrition wellbeing but also academically by providing the food that helps keep our students focussed throughout the day.
And thank you to Amaali and Leilani for their recent great shopping choices! 🍎🍐🍊🥝
Thank you – Woolworths Town Hall.

⚽️ What a result!
Yesterday, Jabeck, Amaali and Billie attended the Sydney FC Primary School Cup Girls Football (soccer!) Gala Day.
As true NRL footy girls, this was the first time all three had ever played in a soccer match. But that certainly didn’t hold them back!
The stakes were high, with teams from schools across Sydney competing.
All three girls scored goals throughout the day….... AND then they went on to win the competition in a penalty shoot-out! 🏆⚽️
What an incredible effort and a brilliant display of their sporting talent, teamwork and willingness to give something new a go.
Well done, girls! 👏🏽
