Congratulations to Alexis Slater winner of the 2025 Oorala T-shirt.
"This artwork represents and symbolises the knowledge and teaching of our ancestors, turtles in Aboriginal culture symbolise wisdom, stability and grounding. Turtles are also resilient, patient and adaptable, an attribute which I believe is paramount on our education journey to become our best version urselves and find our place in the world. Just like the turtle, we thrive in challenging environments while our wisdom and perseverance allow us to overcome challenges."
