"We acknowledge that we stand on traditional land -  Wathaurong / Wada Wurrung Country "

Kitjarra wurrun-ngeen is a comfortable space where students and community are free to pop in for a yarn, participate in our programs and utilise our services to better their education and employment opportunities.

As well as our specialist education program, Mumgu-dhal tyama tiyt ‘Message stick of knowledge’, we offer a range of student support services with each Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student studying at The Gordon eligible for 2 hours FREE tutoring per week.
