We ask that you ACKNOWLEDGE the ancestors of this land, the Dharawal speaking people.
We are grateful that they cared for these lands
From the tall Eucalypts
To the Gymea Lily
And Deeban – the waterways of Port Hacking surrounding us.
We pay our respects to the great artist who engraved on the rocks,
Buri Buri – the whale
Buru – kangaroo
And Dhan – fish
And we look up to the Kirrawee, the sulphur crested cockatoos, Who still fly over our school.
We also pay our respects to our elders,
Both past and present amongst us,
As they hold the stories,
Traditions and
Knowledge.
We invite all people to learn,
Flourish
And achieve
As they journey through our school,
Kirrawee High School.
