✨ G-OZ PARTICIPANT SPOTLIGHT ✨
Meet Briella!
2024 was Briella`s last year with g-oz as she graduated Year 6 and is now off to boarding school to continue her studies.
Showing strong engagement in both her schooling and during g-oz programming, she was selected to attend the 2024 g-oz Travel Program to Sydney alongside 30 other g-oz participants from across regional and remote Australia.
Reflecting on her experience as part of the 2024 Travel Program, Briella says:
‘g-oz has taught me to be proud of myself and always shine in every concert. My favourite part of the 2024 g-oz Travel Program has been singing in the Opera House and going to famous Aboriginal places. It was very FUN!`
Briella also speaks to g-oz contributing to her boosted confidence and willingness to try new things. In Term 2 2024 she put her hand up to sing a solo at the end-of-week g-oz community concert at the Lockhart River Social Club.
In an interview she told g-oz it made her feel ‘proud’ singing at the concert. At the start she was ‘nervous, but at the end [she] was happy.’
Congratulations, Briella, on all that you have achieved in your studies at Lockhart State School and in your time as a g-oz participant throughout the years!
g-oz wishes you all the best on your next chapter 😊
