We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we stand, lead and learn. This land is and always will be Aboriginal land. We would also like to pay our respects to the elders both past, present and to those leaders emerging who will carry on the hopes and dreams of our nation into the future. We recognise the strength, resilience and spirit of our nation’s first people.
Our Aboriginal Education Office sits at the heart of Gorokan High School. Our team of Aboriginal Education Officers and teachers ensure that all students have the opportunity to connect to culture and build meaningful relationships with our community. When attending Gorokan High School you will have the opportunity to be involved with Aboriginal Art, Dance and Didge. Additionally we will support your connection to culture through a variety of excursions including the boy's "Going Bush" trip to Narromine and the weekly Ngura Program. We continue to excel in bridging the gap of education by delivering tutoring programs and in-class support. We look forward to continuing your cultural journey, dreams and aspirations with us at Gorokan High School.
Programs are run throughout the years to support our students with culture and identity, as well as maintaining high expectations and getting ready for the future.
