Last week, the Gujaga Foundation celebrated National Education Week!

At the Gujaga Foundation, we provide Dharawal Language classes to Early Childhood Centres, Preschools and Primary Schools within our Cultural Boundaries. Our Dharawal Language Educators teach 2000+ children across 50+ Early Childhood Centres, Preschools and Primary Schools.

Our goal is to educate children on Dharawal culture, and our language to be passed on within families as it was prior to the protectionism era.

Happy Education Week Everyone!
