Galuwa is a Sydney area Aboriginal word meaning ‘to climb’. Galuwa is a joint initiative between the NSW Department of Education’s Tamworth Educational Services and Glencore.
At the 2016 Galuwa ceremony held at The Great Aussie Bush Camp, Tea Gardens, ten Year 6 students received a Galuwa Scholarship.
Four of the ten Galuwa recipients this year are students who attend schools within the Maitland Local AECG area. MLAECG would like to congratulate the recipients, as well as Beresfield Public School, Tarro Public School, Thornton Public School and Rutherford Public School on this outstanding achievement.
This brings the total Galuwa recipients in the MLAECG area to ten, from four primary schools and three high schools from Years 6 to 8.
