Be a g-oz superhero this festive season and give the gift of performing arts education to girls living in remote Australia!
Your donation, no matter how big or small, provides students living in the remote Australian towns and communities of Halls Creek (WA), Bidyadanga (WA), Lockhart River (QLD) and Kowanyama (QLD) the opportunity to access high-quality performing arts education as well as regional and interstate travel and performance opportunities that would have otherwise remained inaccessible.
Our longstanding, impactful programming sees participants reap the benefits of performing arts engagement and encourages feelings of belonging and connectedness to peers, community and culture; inspires curiosity and creative thinking; promotes positivity and joy; and motivates children to challenge themselves and stand in their power on their pathway to success.

G-OZ PROGRAMS - COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: Bidyadanga ✨
Did you know…that the word ‘Bidyadanga’ comes from the word ‘bidyada’ or ‘pijarta’ meaning ‘emu watering hole’ in Karajarri?
Bidyadanga is also the largest remote Aboriginal community in Western Australia!
Situated on Karajarri land which is also home to the Juwalinny, Mangala, Nyungamarta and Yulpartja language groups, Bidyadanga has a growing arts scene with many local artists belonging to the recently established `Bidyadanga Artists` collective. To learn more about this collective, head to: @bidyadangaartists
Bidyadanga is situated along the Kimberley coast between the ocean and the desert, and has some of the most beautiful sunsets that we have ever seen - check out a few of our g-oz sunset snaps in the slides!
g-oz has been delivering high-quality performing arts Community Programs to La Grange Remote Community School since 2022. We can`t wait to be back in 2025! 🎉
