Dhiiyaan
We are proud to announce the official rebranding of our Support Unit to Dhiiyaan, a name that reflects our commitment to inclusivity, respect, and cultural connection. This important change is more than a new title, it represents a renewed dedication to providing tailored support that celebrates every student’s unique strengths and identities.
About the name
The name 'Dhiiyaan' is inspired by the local Gamilaraay language, which holds deep significance for our community. By adopting this name, we acknowledge and honour the traditional custodians of this land and foster a stronger sense of belonging for our students and families. It is a powerful symbol of our commitment to embracing diversity and working collaboratively to build a supportive and inclusive environment.
At the heart of Dhiiyaan is its motto: “Connect, Family, and Together.” These three words capture the essence of what we stand for—building strong connections, fostering a sense of family within our school community, and working together to support every student’s growth and success.
Rebrand launch
The Dhiiyaan rebrand launch event was a fantastic celebration, bringing together students, staff, parents, and community members. We congratulate all parents and community participants who attended. Your presence demonstrated your strong support for the work we are doing at Gunnedah High School. This collective community backing is vital as we continue to grow, innovate, and provide pathways that prepare our students for success beyond the classroom.
This rebranding marks a fresh chapter for Gunnedah High School, one where we continue to build an inclusive school culture that values every individual. Together, we will nurture our students, empower their journeys, and strengthen the ties between school and community.
Thank you for your ongoing support. We are excited to move forward with Dhiiyaan, together.
