The Sangora Education Foundation

The Sangora Education Foundation was established in 1991 to promote excellence in education, better understanding and cooperation between the people of Australia and those of other countries through education and learning, and opportunities for the study of society and culture through the provision of grants, awards and scholarships. I would like to thank the Sangora Education Foundation for awarding me the Language Teachers Award 2015. Lola Jones

Alaqsitew Gitpu School, Listuguj community

As you enter Alaqsitew Gitpu School in Listuguj community, in Quebec, it is clear this is a school that celebrates Migmaq history, culture and language.  Alaqsite’w Gitpu means ‘the eagle will soar' and the name reflects the hope that students will reach their full potential and be proud of their unique identity.
Representations of the The Seven Sacred Migmaq Teachings - honesty, respect, bravery, truth,  wisdom, love, humility are prominently displayed in school halls and classrooms, in English and Migmaq.
