Aboriginal Education

Aboriginal Education is an important part of Vincentia High School. Our Indigenous students enjoy a wide range of cultural programs and ativities. Our ganya garindja room is our Aboriginal Learning Hub where students receive assistance from qualified tutors and teachers. 

Our ganya garindja (shelter for youth) unit has been established following funding received at the beginning of 2010 in order to close the gap between indigenous and non-indegenous students regarding their educational outcomes.

The unit specically targets Indigenous students covering areas of welfare and education. It is also a meeting place for parents and carers where they feel comfortable discussing issues that may arise during the course of their children's education.

Learning another language fosters students' ability to think and reflect about workings of language and to develop mental flexibility and problem-solving strategies. It also increases opportunities and abilities to develop interpersonal skills and cultural awareness. The program implements quality teaching and learning to enrich, extend and engage all studetns to complete the Stage 4 dhurga course.

garindja barra barra bagan (youth land sea) program

This year (2024), Vincentia High School have been extremely lucky to be selectd to run the garindja barra barra bagan program.

This is in partnership with Booderee National Park and Wreck Bay Community Council. Our students will work alongside these amazing community organisations and learn to care for and manage the land and waterways in our area.

We are excited to have the opportunity to deliver this progrm alongside our Aboriginal community and will showcase some of the projects they will work on in the near future.

Thank you to the National Indigenous Australians Agency who are funding this much needed and certainly exciting program.
