Twugia - Dharug word meaning 'Star'
The Twugia project initiative was developed in 2006 to address the needs of Aboriginal gifted and talented students within South Western Sydney Region. Year 6 Aboriginal students are invited to participate in the project based on year 5 NAPLAN results and where possible continue each year after. The initiative’s priority is to deliver curriculum enrichment based on numeracy and/or literacy integrating information communications technology and to meet the needs of these high achieving students through innovative and engaging activities which include partnerships with community and developing a deeper cultural understanding.
