We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this land;

those of the past and present.

 

We acknowledge the land, the waterways, the skies 

and the spiritual beliefs of the Bunurong people.

 

We acknowledge our First Nation students and their families.

 

We do this in the spirit of reconciliation, as we move towards a place of justice 

and partnership, so that together, we can walk gently on this land.

​

 Our place

Our student FIRE Carriers (Friends Igniting Reconciliation through Education) recognise our Australian history and work to promote cultural understanding and acceptance of the Original People. The Bunurong people are our local culture who welcome us to add our own stories to theirs on this sacred land.

 

           Bunjil the sea eagle is the creator spirit of the Bunurong people. He taught the people to always welcome guests to the 

           land but also asked that all visitors make two promises: 

To obey the laws of Bunjil and;

not to harm the children or the lands of Bunjil.
