We recognise the importance of a safe environment that encourages open and forward thinking so that participants’ physical, emotional and intellectual needs can be nurtured and developed.

Girls from Oz enforces the following policies to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all g-oz participants:

  • Madison Calwyng-oz participant - Halls Creek District High School
    “When I grow up I want to be an English teacher. My experience singing in the big city for a famous choir has made me more confident, helped me learn to work with others. I also know now that the school and my mum will support me to do anything and go anywhere.”
  • Larissa GrochTeacher - Halls Creek District High School
    “This week has been an amazing journey. Watching the students at the beginning of the week as shy and timid as can be in front of new people. At the end of the week they were performing in front of the Governor General and the Halls Creek community without shame and taking pride. The girls have grown so much this week and I can feel the strength that has been instilled in them."
  • Di TomazosFormer Deputy Principal - Halls Creek District High School
    "The girls’ family histories (stories passed down) and their first hand experiences had often led them to believe they would not be fully accepted by non-Aboriginal families. Without exception their experiences of the billeting process has been overwhelmingly positive. So good for everyone!”
