Gala Success !

On Friday, 22 November, Bond University proudly hosted the 2024 Indigenous Gala, Kumai Karulbo “Bigger Together”, on our beautiful campus.

Under the esteemed patronage of Dr Patrick Corrigan AM, the event was a spectacular celebration of Indigenous culture, showcasing the talents and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders, entertainers, and both past and present Indigenous students.  

We deeply appreciate the support of all who attended in person or joined us remotely, through the Live Auction, Silent Auction, Raffle, and Donations. Your generosity directly supports Indigenous students accessing a tertiary education with Bond University. Please scroll down to explore a selection of images from the evening.

We look forward to hosting the next Kumai Karulbo in 2026.
