REGISTER Girls from Oz: '100,000 reasons why' Giving Circle Campaign   This June g-oz set the ambitious aim of raising $100,000 for their 2024 Giving Circle campaign. With a few events yet to wrap up, the final count is still happening, but g-oz can confirm that the target has been reached! The AGC community played a significant role in helping g-oz surpass their goal of $100,000 for a second year in a row. A big thank you to everyone who supported our charity partner during their annual fundraising campaign, as well as to those families who so generously choose to regularly donate to g-oz throughout the year.   As part of the Giving Circle campaign, Giving Circle Coordinators run their own fundraising ‘circle’, joining together with their personal networks to learn more about g-oz and raise funds for the g-oz cause. These Coordinators range from our g-oz Ambassadors comprised of AGC senior choristers, AGC parents, alumni, and tutors, all the way to our 94 year old founder, Judith Curphey OAM!  This year we saw some wonderfully creative fundraising ideas from bake sales and sausage sizzles to market stalls and public performances. A lot of time and effort was put into these events, and they have all been an incredible success!   All funds raised will go directly to the g-oz 21st Travel Program to Sydney at the end of the year which will see 30 g-oz participants from the remote Australian communities of Halls Creek, Lockhart River, Kowanyama, and Bidyadanga partake in a week-long educational and cross-cultural program. The program will conclude on stage at the Sydney Opera House where participants will sing alongside the AGC to an audience of over 2500. The girls will have the opportunity to experience the joy of performing in AGC Annual Concerts.   Thank you once again to everyone who supported the 2024 ‘100,000 reasons why’ Giving Circle Campaign, and to those who regularly donate to g-oz!   AGC Online Shop Visit to purchase all AGC uniform and merchandise items SHOP NOW Calendar Click here for a list of important AGC dates   VIEW CALENDAR Past eNewsletters Find an archive of past eNewsletters on the AGC website READ MORE ...................................
