Today is Indigenous Literacy Day and we’re excited to share resources from The Indigenous Literacy Foundation to celebrate!

This year’s theme, Country is our Teacher, is a reminder of how important it is to keep our stories of Country alive - to tell them, listen to them and learn from them.

On the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) website, you’ll find books written and illustrated by First Nations authors and artists, including many in First Languages. These stories are a great way to connect with and understand the depth and diversity of Indigenous cultures.

You can also sign up to watch this year’s Indigenous Literacy Day film, which will take you on a journey to the Central Desert of Australia, guided by Niningka and Chris - two children living in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and Nyirripi, NT.

GO Alum Aurielle Smith takes on the Big Apple!

We’re incredibly proud of Aurielle, who spent five weeks in New York over the US summer taking part in the Alvin Ailey Professional Division Summer Intensive at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.

Throughout the intensive, she trained alongside talented dancers from around the world, learning from Ailey faculty across ballet, Horton, Graham, contemporary and musical theatre disciplines.

The experience also extended well beyond the dance studio. Alongside growing as a dancer, she formed new friendships, explored New York City and immersed herself in its world-class performing arts and cultural scene.

It’s been wonderful to see Aurielle embrace the experience, step into new spaces and continue pursuing her passion for dance.

Congratulations, Aurielle! We can’t wait to see what you do next 🌟

Our recent Primary Leadership Day took our Sydney Scholars on a wild adventure at Taronga Zoo! 🐍

From exploring the zoo together to getting up close with some of its reptile residents, the day gave our Scholars plenty of opportunities to step outside their comfort zones.

For our Scholars, these Leadership Days are about more than a great day out. They create a space to build confidence, form new friendships and strengthen their connection with the GO Team.

We loved seeing our Scholars encouraging each other, getting involved and having fun throughout the day.

A big thank you to Taronga Zoo Sydney for hosting us and helping make the day such a memorable one.

Earlier this month, our partner the University of Sydney, announced the new MyGadigal Scholarship, supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students throughout their undergraduate studies.

We’re thrilled to see the higher education landscape continue to shift towards greater support for Indigenous students during their studies.

Scholarships like MyGadigal can make a meaningful difference, not only financially, but holistically and culturally throughout a student’s university journey.

Congratulations to the University of Sydney on this important step. We can’t wait to see the impact it has for students.

Recently, our Adelaide Scholarships Program Manager, Tyran, got to spend some time with our Scholars at the STEM Aboriginal Learner Congress at Adelaide Oval on Kaurna Country.

It was a great chance to catch up, have a yarn and support our Scholars out and about - including one of our newest Adelaide Uni Scholars, Hayley, who took to the stage as a keynote speaker!

We love seeing our Scholars doing their thing, and getting the chance to be there cheering them on. 🧡

At the end of July, we were honoured to bring together leaders from government, corporate and education sectors in the ACT for a roundtable lunch and discussion at Government House in Canberra.

The conversation focused on GO’s future strategy, the continued growth of our work in the ACT, and how we can work together to create more opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across the region.

Building strong local relationships is an important part of growing our work in Canberra. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us to share ideas, strengthen connections and explore how we can work together to support GO Scholars and Alumni, families, schools and community into the future.

At the end of July, we held our second Culture Connect Day at The Australian National University, on Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country in Canberra.

We began with a Welcome and Smoking Ceremony from Uncle Paul House, before GO Scholar Tru stepped into her role as MC, interviewing our Co-Founder Adam Goodes and leading Q&A sessions with fellow GO Scholars.

We then moved into our cultural sessions, with GO Ambassador, astrophysics graduate and ANU lecturer Peter Swanton taking us on a journey through astronomy. GO University Scholar Noah Smith led an artefacts session, while Lilly Suli Brock shared Torres Strait Islander culture through a lino printing workshop.

As our Canberra community continues to grow, it's exciting to see these connections strengthen and our Scholars and Alumni supporting one another on their journeys. Thank you to everyone who joined us for another meaningful day of culture, connection and community.

Last weekend, GO Scholars Lleyton and Bastian made the trip from the ACT to Sydney for a very special visit.

They stopped by to see us at Sydney Swans HQ, touring the GO office and getting a behind-the-scenes look at where the Swans men’s and women’s teams train each day. A definite highlight was getting to run around on the indoor training field themselves!

They then topped off their Sydney visit by catching the Swans v Port Adelaide game live. From seeing where the team trains to cheering them on at the SCG, it was a deadly experience for Lleyton and Bastian - and one we loved being able to share with them.
