EMPOWER Program
At Gungahlin College, we're dedicated to unlocking the potential within each student. Our mission is to inspire and support every individual to thrive and excel.
We provide tailored programs and mentorship to nurture students with exceptional abilities, motivation, and unique talents. Through specialised enrichment activities and partnerships, we empower them to push boundaries and achieve their personal best.
You can witness empowerment in action every day at our college. Our students actively pursue their interests, take on leadership roles, and constantly strive for excellence in academics, arts, and beyond.
We celebrate and encourage students who are curious, eager to learn, and who demonstrate leadership within our vibrant community. Join us in fostering a culture of growth, discovery, and achievement at Gungahlin College.
