The National Indigenous Tertiary Education Student Games (NITESG) is an annual sporting event for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander uni students & staff The National Indigenous Tertiary Education Student Games (NITESG) began as a joint-class project between thirteen students enrolled in a Diploma of Aboriginal Studies (Community Recreation) at the then Wollotuka School for Aboriginal Studies, the University of Newcastle, in 1996. The first Games were attended by around 30 students, and have since grown to host hundreds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tertiary students from Universities all around Australia, competing in four core sports plus a traditional indigenous game every year.
