Governor-General Hears the Voice of our Future

November 17, 2022

East Arnhem Regional Council facilitated a forum over breakfast for Their Excellencies Governor-General of Australia David Hurley and Mrs. Hurley to connect and interact with students representing the schools in the Gove peninsula. 


This meeting builds on the long-standing interest the Governor-General has in the wellbeing of regional and remote Australia; of the many conversations, the biggest were discussions on the region’s education institutions, unique lifestyles and communities. 


The Governor-General also opened the floor for questions which was very well received by the students.


Council would like to thank Nhulunbuy Primary School, Nhulunbuy High School, Nhulunbuy Christian College and Dhupuma Barker School for their participation.
