About Goorie Berrimpa
Goorie Berrimpa means “Meeting Place” in the local tribe, Turrbal language. The name suggests that members of the Collective are part of a community no matter where they are from traditionally in the country or what they study. We hope to provide a sense of belonging for all Indigenous students studying at the University of Queensland and bring culture and education together.
Throughout the year Goorie Berrimpa hosts a variety of social functions which are open to all students within the collective. We encourage people to come and get involved in the life of Goorie Berrimpa. Events that are hosted by the collective provides an excellent opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to meet new friends, create great memories, and learn more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.
About South Pacific Islander Association
Established in 2014, The University of Queensland South Pacific Islander Association (UQSPIA) is the heart and dream of a small group of UQ Pasifika students. Their hope was to create a society, home, and safe space for Pasifika students making their journey in tertiary education and welcome Pasifika youth of various pathways, to meet, share, and thrive in their academic, cultural, and spiritual commitments as a village, a family.
It is our commitment to embrace, share, and celebrate Pasifika culture, voices, and people. We welcome you to join our village, our family and let the oceans that connect us be the beginning of shared stories and journeys.
About National Reconciliation Week
National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
UQ will be holding a number of events and activations from 27 May-3 June to commemorate National Reconciliation Week.
