Acknowledgment to Country

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we gather, the Wathaurong People of the Kulin Nations. We wish to honour and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. First Nations People hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across this state and will guide us in taking care of this beautiful land on which we live, learn & play.
